15. the sum of two numbers is 8. the difference of the two numbers is 2.
write a system of equations to find these two numbers and solve.

3 AND 5

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE TWO NUMBERS BE X AND Y

THEN

X + Y = 8 …….1

X – Y = 2 …… 2

WE SOLVE SIMULTANOUSLY  

SUBTRACTNG EQATION 2 FROM 1

X – X  + Y – (-Y) = 8 – 2

Y + Y = 6

2Y = 6

DIVIDING EACH TERM BY 2

2Y/2 = 6/2

Y = 3

THEN PUTTING Y = 3 IN EQUATION 1

X + 3 = 8

X = 8 – 3

X = 5

d

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.
