A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit
"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5
The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]
The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42
The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42
Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out
-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1
then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y
1 + y = 5
y = 4
remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14
Please, post just one problem at a time, or (if you post more than one), indicate which one you want to focus on first. Even more important, please do whatever you can to get started on each problem; I'm sure you know at least some basics.
What does "intersecting" mean? Look it up if you're not sure.
Then what would "two intersecting lines" look like? Draw the graph, or at least explain in words what the graph would look like.
