Answer:

The first number is 14

The second number is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y = 8

2x + y = 25

Solving simultaneously,

2x + 4y = 16

2x + y = 25

On subtracting, we have

3y = -9

y = -3

Going to substitute for y, we have

x + 2(-3) = 8

x - 6 = 8

x = 14

If x = -9 and y = 3, evaluate the following expressions. :<br>(4y)2 – (2x)?<br>2.<br>4y2 – 2x2​
Licemer1 [7]

To evaluate the expressions, you substitute -9 for x and 3 for y into the expressions

(4y)^2 - (2x)

= (4(3))^2 - (2(-9))

= (12)^2 - (-18)

= 144 + 18

= 162

4y^2 - 2x^2

= 4(3)^2 - 2(-9)^2

= 4(9) - 2(81)

= 36 - 162 = -126
