Answer:

x = 37

y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number = x

Let the smaller number = y

x + y = 62

<u>x - y = 12 </u> Add

2x = 74 Divide by 2

x = 74/2

x = 37

x - y = 12

37 -y = 12 Subtract 37 from both sides

-y = 12 - 37

-y = -25 Multiply both sides by - 1

y = 25

QUICK HELP!!!!

sasho [114]

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = \frac{3}{4} x - 1→y - y1 = m( x - x1)$

$y - 6 = \frac{3}{4} (x - 6)→y - 6 = \frac{3}{4} x - 6$

$2(y - 6) = 2( \frac{3}{4} )(x - 6)$

$2y - 6= \frac{3}{2}( x - 6)$

$2y - 6 = \frac{3}{2} x - 9$

$- 6 \: from \: both \: sides$

$2y = \frac{3}{2} x - 3$

$divede \: by \: 2 \: on \: both \: sides$

$y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{3}{2}$

Hope this helps!

No, he is not right.

Integer is a number that can be written without a fractional component, and 1 3/4 doesn't.

Here's an image for you to better understand.
