Answer:

10 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the first number x and he second number y. This will make the equation set up process easier.

Since the sum of the two numbers is 12, you could make the first equation: x+y=12

One number is less than the other so the next equation would be: y=x-8

You can substitute y in the first equation to have x+(x-8)=12

Add the two x's to have 2x and add 8 from both sides (add 8 to both the 12 and 8 to get it to the opposite side of the equal sign to x. This would look like: 2x=20.

Divide 2 by both sides to get 10.

Now you can plug in 2 in place of x in the very first equation again and subtract from both sides to get 2.

Is the ordered pair
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

no, because for x=-3, y would have to be -31

Step-by-step explanation:

boy oh boy (or girl oh girl) - you wrote this in a horrible, horrible format.

I can only guess what your problem and the fitting answer would be.

y = -2×x^2 + 3×x - 4

-4 = -2×(-3)^2 + 3×(-3) - 4

-4 = -2×9 - 9 - 4

-4 = -18 - 9 - 4

-4 = -31

and that is wrong. for (-3,-4) to be on the graph of the function, y would have to be -4 when using x=-3 in the function. but y = -31 for x= -3.
