Answer:
x= -13
y= -28
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:
x-y=15
5x=2y-9
Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.
x=15+y into 5x=2y-9
becomes
5(15+y) = 2y-9
75+5y = 2y- 9
75+3y= -9
3y = -84
y= -28
To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.
x - (-28) = 15
x+28 =15
x = 15-28
x=-13
