------------------------------------------------------------
Define the two numbers
-----------------------------------------------------------
Let the first number be x.
Let the second number be y.

------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations and solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2y = 14 ------------------ (1)
2x + y = 31 ------------------ (2)

------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (1) x 2
------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 4y = 28  ---------------(1a)

------------------------------------------------------------
Equation (1a) - 2
------------------------------------------------------------
3y = 28 - 31
3y = -3
y = -1

------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = -1 into (1)
------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2(-1) = 14
x -2 = 14
x = 14 + 2
x = 16

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x =16, y = -1
------------------------------------------------------------

Determine if the given pair of lines is parallel, perpendicular or neither.
lana66690 [7]
It’s neither, and this is because the slope is not opposite or the same, the same y intercept yes...but there isn’t any parallel or perpendicular features...you can see this when you graph it :)
