Answer:

another number =27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X stand for the larger number. The smaller number is therefore X - 13. We can now write the sum of the two numbers as:

X + (X - 13) = 4

X + X - 13 = 41

Gather the X’s and rewrite as,

2X - 13 = 41

Add 13 to both sides to get

2X = 54

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for X,

X = 27

Find a solution to the system. Make sure to write as a coordinate.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x=2, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations.

To solve a system of equations, we use the substitution method.

We can plug in the first equation, $x=2y-4$ , into the value for x in the second equation. Now, the second equation looks like this:

$2*(2y-4)+y=7$

We simplify and solve for y:

→ $4y-8+y=7$

→ $5y=15$

→ $y=3$

Now, we plug in the value for y, which is 3, into either equation. I will just use the first equation:

→ $x=2*3-4$

→ $x = 2$
