The two numbers are,

9 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the smaller number.

larger number=2x-6

2x-6+x=21

3x-6=21

3x=21+6

3x=27

x=9

the smaller number is 9

Answer:

-12 = 3x - 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the graph are (-4, 0) and (0, 3). Moving from the first point to the second, we see x (the 'run') increase by 4 and y (the 'rise') increase by 3. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 3/4.

Using the point slope form, we get:

y - 3 = (3/4)(x - 0), or

4y - 12 = 3x, or

-12 = 3x - 4y (which is in Standard Form).
