23 and 9 are the two numbers

Explanation:

x = one number
y = other number

x + y = 32 {sum of two numbers is 32
x - y = 14 {difference is 14}
-----------
2x = 46 {added the two equations together}
x = 23 {divided both sides by 2}

x + y = 32 {top equation}
23 + y = 32 {substituted 23, in for x, into top equation}
y = 9 {subtracted 23 from both sides}

23 and 9 are the two numbers

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

60 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the adult weight, multiply 12 by 5.

Since 12 pounds is 20% of the adult weight, 100% of the adult weight would be 12 times 5.

12(5)

= 60

So, the adult weight of the puppy will be 60 pounds

The system of linear inequalities x + 10y ≤ 80, x ≥ 30 and y ≤ 4 is represented in a graph below

<h3>Graph of Linear Inequality</h3>

The graph of an inequality in two variables is the set of points that represents all solutions to the inequality. A linear inequality divides the coordinate plane into two halves by a boundary line where one half represents the solutions of the inequality.

To solve this problem, we would require the use of graph which can easily be done with a graphing calculator.

x + 10y ≤ 80

x ≥ 30

y ≤ 4

The graph of the inequalities is attached below
