Answer:

x = -6

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 3

x + y = 3

twice the larger number is 36 more than three times the smaller number

2y = 3x + 36

Divide both sides by 2

y = 1.5x + 18

substitute for y in the first equation

x + (1.5x + 18) = 3

2.5x = -15

divide both sides by 2.5

x = -6

Substitute for x in the first equation

-6 + y = 3

y = 9

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 1/4 and y- intercept -6
VikaD [51]

Answer:

y = 1/4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b

The y-intercept is b

The slope is mx

So just plug in

y = 1/4x - 6

The reason is it minus is because -6 is negative so it'll rule out the plus either way.
