Solution:

Let x and y be the numbers that sum up to 45.

<u>Note that:</u>

  • x + y = 45
  • y + 9 = x

<u>Simplify the second equation such that the constant is the subject.</u>

  • y + 9 = x
  • => -x + y = -9

<u>Use system of equations to solve for both variables.</u>

  • x + y = 45

       -x + y = -9

  • => 2y = 36
  • => y = 18

<u>Substitute the value of y into the second equation to find x.</u>

  • y + 9 = x
  • => 18 + 9 = x
  • => 27 = x

The value of x and y is 27 and 18 respectively.

Answer:

18 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = first (smaller) number

Let y = second (larger) number

Sum of two numbers is 45:

⇒ x + y = 45

The greater number is 9 more than the other number:

⇒ y = x + 9

Substitute  y = x + 9  into  x + y = 45  and solve for x:

⇒ x + (x + 9) = 45

⇒ 2x + 9 = 45

⇒ 2x = 36

⇒ x = 18

Substitute found value for x into  y = x + 9  and solve for y:

⇒ y = 18 + 9

⇒ y = 27

Therefore, the two numbers are 18 and 27

Given that <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%20%7B%7D%5E%7Bx%7D%20%20%3D%200.125" id="TexFormula1" title="2 {}^{x} = 0.12
Luda [366]
Take the natural log of both sides

ln(2^x)=ln(.125)
Xln(2)=ln(.125)
X=ln(.125)/ln(2)
X=-3

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE:
You know that 0.125 is equal to 1/8
And 1/2^3 is also equal to 1/8
So since you need the reciprocal to match it the exponent is a negative
