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

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

he sells x mount because thats eqivilqant to the maz and then divided into quarters
