I figured out the first question, the second one in lost on.

Factor both of the equations, numerator and denominator

Cancel the like factors *excuse the zero im just showing you*

Combine frunctions

x-9=0
x+7=0
Restrictions are 9 and -7
5/6 is smaller than 6/6 cause 6/6 is =1 5/6 is smaller than 1 whole
Answer:
small number = -3
large number = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose two numbers are x and y
smaller number = x
larger number = y
Given that,
The difference of two numbers is 15
<h2>Equation 1</h2><h3>y - x = 15</h3>
Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger.
<h2>Equation 2</h2><h3>5x = 9 - 2y</h3>
Solve them
-x = 15 - y
x = y -15
put value of x in equation 2
5(y - 15) = 9 - 2y
-75 + 5y = 9 - 2y
-75 - 9 = -2y - 5y
-84 = -7y
y = 84/7
y = 12
x = 12 - 15
x = -3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 8 = 4x
4x - 4x = +8
x = 8
