Answer:

13 and 44

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the 2 numbers with y < x , then

x - y = 31 ( add y to both sides )

x = y + 31 ( subtract 31 from both sides )

x - 31 = y → (1)

4y = x + 8 → (2)

substitute y = x - 31 into (2)

4(x - 31) = x + 8

4x - 124 = x + 8 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x - 124 = 8 ( add 124 to both sides )

3x = 132 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 44

substitute x = 44 into (1)

44 - 31  = y , then

y = 13

the 2 numbers are 13 and 44

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line x=-2and passes through the point (-5, 4)?
Nimfa-mama [501]
First, it is important to understand that any equation that is x=some number is just a vertical line that hits the x-axis at the given number. For example, x=-2 would be a vertical line hitting the x-axis at -2. Therefore, the line we are trying to identify would also be vertical (and have the form x=some number) because we know the lines are parallel. Then, since we're given the point (-5,4), we know the line needs to hit the x-axis at -5, therefore the equation would be x=-5.

I hope this helps.
