Let x represent the larger number.
  1/(x -28) +4/x = 1/6
Multiplying by the product of denominators, we have
  6x +24(x -28) = x(x -28)
In standard form, this is
  x^2 -58x +672 = 0
  (x -42)(x -16) = 0

The two numbers are (-12 and 16) or (14 and 42).

Answer:

I agree with Noah's Method because following PEMDAS you have to do exponents first. 10^3 is 1000 and then you can add the 20. Jada's method is incorrect because you cannot add the two together.
