The answer is most likely (c).
Let us say that the numbers are x and y. The given clues
are:
1. x – y = 16 (so
x is the larger number)
2. y / x = 5 / 7
rewriting eqtn 2 in terms of y:
y = (5/7) x
combining 1 and 2:
x – (5/7) x = 16
(2/7) x = 16
x = 56
y = (5/7) x = 40
So the two numbers are 56 and 40.
Answer:
y+9=-1(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point Slope Form is:

When:
'm' is the slope.
is the coordinate.
We are given the slope of -1 and the coordinate of (4,-9).
So:

Using the information and replacing the values we get:

So, the line equation in point slope form should be: y+9=-1(x-4)

To solve for x you do these steps
x=number
1. do this following multiplication problem to get 0.9%
36/x*100%= 0.9%
2. now do the opposite of what you did before to get x
36 divided by 0.9%= x
36 divided by 0.9%= 40
x = 40
