Answer:
The system of equations are x + y = -32 and y = x – 2
Solution:
Given that the sum of two numbers is – 32. one number is two less than the other.
We have to translate this to a system of equations.
Consider the two numbers as “x” and “y”
From question, given sum of two numbers is -32
x + y = -32
now, given that one number is two less than other. Hence we can say “y” is two less than “x”.
y = x – 2
Hence the system of equations are x + y = -32 and y = x – 2
