Answer:
13 and 9 (smaller number)
Step-by-step explanation:
13-9=4 <--- difference
13+9=22 <--- sum
b
2n is the same as twice a number added by itself and 3n is the same as 3 times a number then it has minus 10
Judging by the question at hand I generated this equation.
x+y=12
x=2y
I begin this question by plugging in the x=2y into the equation for x.
So the new equation should be 3y=12. I then divide the entire equation by 3 to get y=4.
Next I plug y=4 into the equation, the new equation should be x+4=12. I then subtract 4 from both sides to get x=8.
The two numbers are :
x=8 y=4
Answer: Choice D. (x/8) - 2 = 5
Work Shown:
x = Aatif's age
x/8 = divide the age by 8
(x/8) - 2 = divide the age by 8 first, then subtract off 2
(x/8) - 2 = 5 .... the previous result is equal to 5
