1.The sum of two numbers is 15. The difference of the same two numbers is 7. What are the two numbers? The sum of the two numbers is 15.
x + y = 15
The difference is 7.
x - y = 7
Now, solve by adding the two equations.
Now, plugging into the first equation gives
The numbers are 11 and 4.

What do you call the the answer to a division problem?
The answer to a long division problem is a quotient.
What is the greatest number that is a solution for the inequality?
The answer, which may not even exist, depends on the inequality. There is, for example, no greatest solution for x > 5.
How do you know if a relation is a function?
relation and function are number that combine with number and neqative number to .
In math what is soultion?
A solution is an answer that satisfies the conditions of the problem posed. For example 4 is the solution to 3+1, since 3+1=4. A problem may have more than one solution, or maybe zero solutions. The problem "When x squared equals 4, what values can x take?" Has two solutions, namely ±2. But the problem "What x gives 3x>9" has infinite solutions, just pick any number greater than 3. For the two equations x+y=1 and x+y=2 there is clearly an inconsistency, so there is no solutions for x and y.
What is 6 less than a number times 15?
6 - ( N x 15 ) = No Solution or Infinite Solution. In order to solve this problem there must be something after the equal sign or else we could derive an infinite number of answers.
