Answer:
7, -2
Step-by-step explanation:
we call the first number "X" and the second one "Y"
X is 9 more than Y! which means we need to add 9 to Y so it'll be equal to X. so: Y+9=X
also 2×(X+Y)=10
you can also write this down as: 2X+2Y=10
now we have:
X=Y+9
2X+2Y=10
you can now put what equals to X in the second Equation:
2(Y+9)+2Y=10 => 2Y+18+2Y=10 => 4Y=10-18 =>Y= -2
the only thing left to do is to put Y= -2 in the first equation:
X= -2+9 => X=7
An algebraic equation is an equation with unknown variables which can be represented using any number of the alphabet.
The two numbers are 7 and -2
Let's represent the unknown numbers which are the unknown variables with the letters
Let the first number = m
The second number = n
A number is 9 more than another number. This statement is represented by the algebraic equation:
m = 9 + n .......... Equation 1
Twice the sum of the two numbers is 10. This statement is represented by the algebraic equation:
2 (m + n) = 10
2m + 2n = 10...................Equation 2
We substitute 9 + n for "m" in Equation 2
2(9 + n) + 2n = 10
18 + 2n + 2n = 10
Subtract 18 from both sides
18 - 18 + 2n + 2n = 10 - 18
4n = -8
Divide both sides by 4
4n/4 = -8/4
n = -2
We solve for m using Equation 1
m = 9 + n
m = 9 + (-2)
m = 9 - 2
m = 7
Therefore, the two numbers are 7 and -2
