CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST The difference between two numbers is 15. Find the two numbers if twice the small number plus three times the large number total 75. (Be sure to use let statments and an equation when solving)

21 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a will be the larger, b the smaller:

a - b = 15

2b + 3a = 75

First, we'll solve the first equation for a in terms of b:

a = b + 15

Then substitute that in for a in the second equation to get a numerical value for b:

2b + 3(b + 15) = 75

2b + 3b + 45 = 75

5b = 30

b = 6

Next, we'll get a numerical value for a:

a - b = 15

a - 6 = 15

a = 21

Check the math:

2(6) + 3(21) = 12 + 63 = 75

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula
