The sum of two numbers is 39. the smaller number is five less than the larger number. what are the numbers?

22 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Using guess and check, I found this answer. If you wanted to show your work, you could make a table and put both numbers on the left side, add them up, and put the answers on the right side until you got to 39.

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
