Answer:
x = 18 y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number be x
let the second number be y
x = y + 8..... equation 1
2x + y = 46.... equation 2
x is the larger number
y is the smaller number.
Rearrange the equation and add equation 1 to equation 2.
x - y = 8
+ 2x + y = 46
-------------------
3x + 0 = 54
3x = 54
divide both sides by 3
x = 54/3
x = 18
Substitute x = 18 into equation 1
x = y + 8
18 = y + 8
collect like terms
y = 18-8
y = 10
Answer:
step 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y - 9 = -8(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y=-8x - 5 that contains j(-2, 9)
Step 1
y intercept =
y = mx + b
y=-8x - 5
m = -8, b = -5
Point slope form
y - y1 =m( x - x1)
We are given coordinates:
j(-2, 9) = (x1, y1) where ,
x1 = -2
y1 = 9
Hence, our point slope form equation is:
y - 9 = -8(x -(-2))
y - 9 = -8(x + 2)
Answer:
31
Step-by-step explanation:
2 + 4 = 6
6 + 12 = 18
18 - 12 = 6
6 + 21 = 27
27 + 14 = 41
41 - 10 = 31
