One number is 2 less than a second number.

Mathematics
1 answer:
skad [1K]3 years ago

Answer:

x = one number

y = second number

Where,

x = y - 3

2y = 4x - 16

Multiply the first equation by 2 and substitute the second equation into it.

2(x=y-3) : 2x = 2y - 6

 

2x = (4x - 16) - 6

Combine like terms

2x = 4x - 22

2x - 2x + 22 = 4x - 2x -22 + 22

22 = 2x

22/2 = 2x/2

11 = x

3. Evaluate a + b for a = -46 and b= 34.<br> A:-12<br> B:80<br> C:-80<br> D:12
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

<h2>A: -12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the values of a = -46 and b = 34 to the expression a + b:

-46 + 34        <em>use the commutative property a + b = b + a</em>

= 34 + (-46) = 34 - 46 = -12
