Subtract -4 from 8 to get X^4
I think option D is the correct one.
Let a = the larger number
<span>b = the smaller number </span>
<span>a + b = 16 </span>
<span>3a - b = 72 </span>
<span>a = 16 - b </span>
<span>3(16 - b) - b = 72 </span>
<span>48 - 3b - b = 72 </span>
<span>-4b = 24 </span>
<span>b = -6 </span>
<span>a = 16 - (-6) </span>
<span>a = 22 </span>
<span>The two numbers are: </span>
<span>22 and -6</span>
24=3r/4
Multiply both sides by 4
24=(3r)/4
(24)*(4)=(3r/4)*(4)
96=3r
Flip the equation
3r=96
Divide both sides by 3
3r/3=96/3
r=32
Now lets check if the answer is good
24=3(32)/4
24= 96/4
24=24
You see , the answer is good .
I hope that's help ! Let me know .
