Answer:

small number = -3

large number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose two numbers are x and y

smaller number = x

larger number = y

Given that,

The difference of two numbers is 15

<h2>Equation 1</h2><h3>y - x  = 15</h3>

Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger.

<h2>Equation 2</h2><h3>5x = 9 - 2y</h3>

Solve them

-x = 15 - y

x = y -15

put value of x in equation 2

5(y - 15) = 9 - 2y

-75 + 5y = 9 - 2y

-75 - 9 = -2y - 5y

-84 =  -7y

y = 84/7

y = 12

x = 12 - 15

x = -3

lisov135 [29]
1 \% = \frac{1}{100}\\ \\90 \% * x =6.4  \\ \\\frac{90}{100}x=6.4  \\ \\\frac{9 }{10 }x=6.4 \ \ *(\frac{10}{9})\\ \\x= 6.4 *\frac{10}{9}\\ \\x=\frac{64}{9}\\ \\x = 7\frac{1}{9}
