The larger of two numbers is nine more than the smaller numbet. If the sum of the numbers is 17, find the two numbers. Write your answer as two numbers separated by
a comma,
Type your answer

x = 4

y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 9 = y(1)

x + y = 17(2)

(1) > (2),

x + 9 + x = 17

2x + 9 = 17

2x = 8

x = 4

y = 13

yes

yes yes yes

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
