Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number be represented by x
Let the smaller number be represented by y
from the question, the next equations can be gotten :
x - y = 9 equation 1
x = 1 + 2y equation 2
Substitute for x in equation 1
1 + 2y - y = 9
1 + y = 9
Collect like terms
y = 9 - 1
y = 8
Substitute for y in equation 1 and solve for x (the larger number)
x - 8 = 9
x = 9 + 8
x = 17
x/8
how I see the problem I just put the 1 over the 8 because you can't really do anything else with the problem
y = 2x - 3
Since the line is going 2 down and 1 left. The slope is 2.
The line crosses the y-intercept at -3.
