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

Pls help I am suffering​
Fed [463]

Answer:

line l: x = -1

line m: x = 6

line n: y = 4

line p: y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

All of these lines are parallel to either to y or x axis, so the slope is either zero or undefined. This means all you have to do is set x or y equal to the x intercept or y intercept. For lines that go vertically, they always have the same x coordinate and any y coordinate you put in will make a point that is on the line. The same thing with the horizontal lines, except they all have the same y coordinate and any x coordinate will make a point that is on that line.

All you have to do is set x or y, depending on which way the line is going, equal to the point is goes through on the axis it travels through, no need to worry about slope or y = mx + b.
