<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2
<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16
<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14
<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12
Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12
Answer: 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope : rise over run, or the change in y/ change in x
Change in y = 40 (50 - 90)
Change in x = 50 (50 - 100)
40/50 or 4/5
The order of selection matters, therefore we need to find permutations:
The number of ways is found from 10P3.
