2y - 18x = -26
Add 18x to both sides.
2y = -26 + 18x
Divide by 2 on both sides.
y = -13 + 9x
y = 9x - 13
12 multiplied by 12 equals 144.
<h3><u>The value of the greater number is 15.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the smaller number is 7.</u></h3>
x = 2y + 1
3x = 5y + 10
Because we have a value for x we can plug this value in to find the value of y.
3(2y + 1) = 5y + 10
Distributive property.
6y + 3 = 5y + 10
Subtract 5y from both sides.
y + 3 = 10
Subtract 3 from both sides.
y = 7
We can plug this value back into the original equation to find the value of x.
x = 2(7) + 1
x = 15
3000th is the answer.
If I get it wrong, I apologize. I didn't exactly understand your grammar..
