One number is larger than another by 9. If the greater number is increased by 10, and the lesser number is tripled, the sum of the two would be -41. What are the two numbers

The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers, a and b.

We know that one number is larger than another by 9.

Then we can write:

a = b + 9

then a is larger than b by 9 units.

If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

So we got two equations:

a = b + 9

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

This is a system of equations.

One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:

But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:

a = b + 9

now we can replace that in the other equation:

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41

now we can solve this for b.

9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41

(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41

19 + 4b = -41

4b = -41 -19 = -60

b = -60/4 = -15

b = -15

then:

a = b + 9

a = -15 + 9 = -6

a = -6

step-by-step explanation:

save it by not spending on unnecessary stuff and have more

(0,,,0)

step-by-step explanation:

the table of x and y values is shown in the attached pic(part of question)

we have to decide according that graph

given points are (0, 0) (–1, 0), (2, 0)

when we graph these points on graph they show an increasing line as shown in the attached pic
