Answer:

y = -13.5

x = -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let the two numbers be equal to <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>.

The difference of two numbers is 3 ⇒ x - y = 3

Their sum is - 24 ⇒ x + y = -24

Solve using elimination:

x - y = 3

x + y = -24

Add the two equations:

x + x - y + y = 3 - 24

2x = -21

x = -10.5

Solve for y:

-10.5 - y = 3

- y = 3 + 10.5

y = -13.5

I hope this helps!

kolezko [41]
That is true. It is much cheaper and economically safer for farms to not grow organic foods. I’m fact, sometimes it is even better for the environment for food to not be grown organically as it puts less stress on the farmland.
