Step-by-step explanation:

x = number

3x - 15 = (x - 12)×-4 or (12-x)×-4

3x - 15 = -4x + 48 or -48 + 4x

7x = 63, x = 9 or

33 = x

Set up a system of linear equations, and then solve for the indicated quantities.
hichkok12 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • smaller: -4
  • larger: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the given variables into the word problem, we have two equations:

  3x +3y = -15

  6x -3y = -21

Adding these equations eliminates y:

  9x = -36

  x = -4 . . . . divide by 9

Using this in the first equation, we have ...

  3(-4) +3y = -15

  -4 +y = -5 . . . . . divide by 3

  y = -1 . . . . . . . . . add 4

The smaller number is -4; the larger is -1.
