Answer:

1st number (x) = -3, 2nd number (y) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 2, y = 2 - x

x - y = -8, y = x + 8

By substituting y = 2 - x in the other equation:

(2 - x) = x + 8

2 - 8 = x + x

-6 = 2x

x = -3

Now plug x = -3 into either equation:

y = 2 - x

y = 2 - (-3) = 5

So the numbers are -3, 5

A farmer plants 5 carrot seeds every 3 inches. Which

Serga [27]

Answer: 84 inches

Step-by-step explanation: When we look at how many carrot seeds he plants every 3 inches we can see that he plants 5 every time. This is saying that every 3 inches he will place 5 carrot seeds. If he wants to plant 140 seeds, he will still be planting 5 seeds every 3 inches. This means that we need to multiply the 140 seeds by 3 inches and divide by 5 to get our answer. This is 420 / 5 which equals 84. I think that is how it is done I am very sure of it!()_()()-();)
