Answer:

First number is -2.5

Second number 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Four times the first number minus three times the second number is 2.

To represent this statement, 4x -3y =2

Two times the first number increased by three times the second is 10.

To represent thsi statement, 2x+ 3y = 10

4x - 3y = 2

2x + 3y =10

4x - 2x = 2x

2x = -5

x= -2.5

The first number is -2.5

By using Substitution

2x + 3y = 10

2(-2.5) + 3y = 10

-5 + 3y = 10

3y = 10 +5

3y =15

y = 5

The second number is 5

....To check my answer

-5 + 15 = 10

20. What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (–2, 2) and (0, 5)? A. y = x + 5 B. y = x – 5 C. y = –3/2x +
Vanyuwa [196]

y=mx+b

first find the y intercept or b or x=0

b=5

now find the slope

y²-y¹/x²-x¹--> 5-2/0-(-2)

m=3/2

the equation is D. y=3/2x+5

Sheri's brother gave Sam his collection of stamps when she left for college. At that
pychu [463]

Answer: $70 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that x is the number of years that has passed and y is how much the stamp is worth.

So we know that in zero years the stamp was worth $420 because that is the time Sheri gave her brother Sam the stamp. That could bring up the coordinates  (0,420) .

Now we know that in 8 years it was worth $980 and that could be the coordinates (8,980)

To find the rate of change we need to find the different between the y value and divide it by the difference in the x values.

420 - 980 = -560

 0-8 = -8

-560/-8 = 70

The rate of change is 70 which means that it grew by $70 every year.
