The sum of two numbers is 16. One number is 3 times the other. Find the numbers.

X = 12

Y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

X + Y = 16

X = 3Y

3Y + Y = 16

4Y = 16

Y = 4

X + 4 = 16

X = 12

good job you smart son of a gun you are smarter that einstein. 7

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
