Hello there.

<span>One number is 4 less than a second number. twice the second number is 16 less than 5 times the first. find the two numbers
</span>
Answer: Call the first number x.
First number is x.
Second number is x + 4.
This is the equation presented.
2(x + 4) = 5x - 16.
2x + 8 = 5x - 16.
16 + 8 = 5x - 2x
24 = 3x
x = 8.
x + 4 = 12.
The two numbers are 8 and 12.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^

Erica solved the equation −5x − 25 = 78; her work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. (5 points)
NemiM [27]
If you would like to solve the equation -5x - 25 = 78, you should do this using the following steps:

<span>-5x - 25 = 78
</span>-5x - 25 + 25 = 78 + 25
-5x + 0 = 103
-5x = 103 /(-5)
x = 103 / (-5)
x = - 103/5 = - 20.6

The error was already made at step 1.
