<span>The sum of two numbers is 50. The smaller number is 18 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?
-----
Equations:
x + y = 50
x = y - 18
-------------------
Add and solve for "x"::
2x = 32
x = 16
-----
Solve for "y"::
16 + y = 50
y = 34
-----------------
Hope I helped!

Answer: 180= 38+(17x+1)+(3x+1), All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so I made all the add measures equal to 180 degrees.
Just solve that equation to find x. Then used then plug in the x value to (17x+1). After you solve that put it equal to 2y to solve for y.
So the y equation would look like: 2y=(17x+1) (but you would have solved for x and then plugged it in to the equation)
If you need help solving or have any questions let me know!
Answer:
(4, 9) is not a solution to 3(x + 2) = y.
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 2) = y
Substitute (4, 9) into the equation.
3(4 + 2) = 9
Add the inside of the parenthesis.
3(6) = 9
Multiply.
18 ≠ 9
f(g(-1)) = - 3
Evaluate g(-1) and substitute into f(x)
g(-1) = (-1)² -7(-1) - 9 = 1 + 7 - 9 = - 1
f(g(-1)) = (-1) - 2 = - 3
