Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

so we just make a system of equations:

x+y=36

say that x is the larger and y is the smaller

x-3=2y

so we can combine the equations and solve for x and y

re-arrange x-3=2y to be x=2y+3

x+y=36

x=2y+3

insert the value for x into x into x+y=36

2y+3+y=36

3y+3=36

y=11

now insert that back into x+y=36

11+x=36

x=25

Out of the two numbers x and y, 11 is the smaller number

Hope that helps :)

Determine the y-intercept of the graph of this equation: y - 3 = 2(x + 5)
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

y intercept is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 3 = 2(x + 5)

To find the y intercept, let x=0 and solve for y

y - 3 = 2(0 + 5)

y - 3 = 2(5)

y -3 =10

y-3+3 = 10+3

y = 13

Solve the following system of equations:<br><br> x + 3y = −4<br> x + 5y = −6<br><br> pls and thx
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

x = -1  y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = −4

x + 5y = −6

Multiply the first equation by -1

-x - 3y = 4

The add to the second equation to eliminate x

-x - 3y = 4

x + 5y = −6

--------------------

 2y = -2

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -2/2

y = -1

Now solve for x

x+3y = -4

x +3(-1) = -4

x -3 = -4

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = -4+3

x = -1
