Two numbers have the following properties. the sum of the larger and twice the smaller is equal to 13.twice their positive difference is equal to eight. what ate the two numbers?play around with the modeling this problem using variables. create careful let statements and equations that translate the information you are given into a system you can solve

We would need more information to figure out who or what ate the numbers. It gives no examples of things that would. I hope you understand this. Have a great day :)

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
