Answer:

the numbers are 9 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

equation to the problem: x+y=36

one number (y) is 18 times greater than the other number (x): x+18=y

plug in the 2nd equation to the first equation (systems of equations):

x+(x+18)=36

solve the equation:

2x+18=36

*minus 18 on both sides*

2x=18

*divide the whole equation by 2 to get the value of just one x*

x=9

since variable x is the n smaller number, add 18 to 9 to get the 2nd number:

18+9= 27

y=27

write a system of linear equations that has only one solution. solve the system of equations in two ways.
Iteru [2.4K]
X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.

Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42
