Answer:

the two numbers are 30 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be m and n then

m+n=48.............i)

m - n = 12 ...............ii)

Adding both equations

2m = 60

m = 30

Putting m = 30 in equation i

30 + n = 48

n = 48 - 30

n = 18

Answer:

5x +y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point and slope, it often works well to start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line:

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your point and slope make this ...

y -6 = -5(x -2)

y -6 = -5x +10 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

5x +y = 16 . . . . . . . . . add 5x+6 to both sides; your standard form equation
