X=27 and y=11
if you let each number equal x and y we know the sum is 38 so x+y=38
and the smaller is 16 less than the larger
. so if we say the smaller number is 7 then x-16=y
these can be solved as a simultaneous equation. x+(x-16)=38
2x-16=38
2x=54
x=27
(27)-16=y
y=11
so the answer is x=27 y=11

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
I think that it would be -40
Step-by-step explanation:
I think this because they had to go back 40 spaces because 8 x 5 = 40.
Answer:
y = (2/7)x -12
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b is the standard form of an equation of a straight line in which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is zero)..
<u>m</u>=(2/7) and <u>b</u> = -12
y = <u>m</u>x + <u>b</u>
y = (<u>2/7</u>)x <u>-12</u>
