Answer:

The numbers are -11 and -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two numbers are x and y.

x = y - 2

2y = 5x + 37

2y = 5(y - 2) + 37

2y = 5y - 10 + 37

3y = - 27

y = -9

x = - 11

ludmilkaskok [199]

total bill before any discounts $13.

she is a student, so she gets 20% off.

she brought an item of clothing, so she gets 5% off.

so she's really getting 20% + 5% off, namely 25% off her bill.

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{25\% of 13}}{\left( \cfrac{25}{100} \right)13\implies 3.25}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{bill with all discounts}}{13-3.25\implies 9.75}$
