let the numbers be x and y

x+y=-5

x-y=-1

therefore x=-5-y

-5-y-y=-1

-2y=-1+5

-2y=4

y=-2

Answer: -2 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Number #1 = x
  • Number #2 = y

x + y = -5

x - y = -1 -> x = y - 1

(y - 1) + y = -5

y - 1 + y = -5

2y = 1 - 5

2y = -4

y = -2

x = y - 1 = -2 - 1 = -3

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

0.5b + 1.5p ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality function is as follows:

Let us assume the number of bananas acquired be b

And, the number of peaches acquired be p

Cost of each banana be $0.50

ANd, the cost of each peach be $1.50

Also the total would be $8

The possible values of banana is 0.5b

And, for peaches it would be 1.5p

So, the inequality function is

0.5b + 1.5p ≤ 8
