<em>x = - 2.5</em>
- <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>Hi there !</em>
<em>4 - (2x + 4) = 5</em>
<em>4 - 2x - 4 = 5</em>
<em>- 2x = 5</em>
<em>2x = - 5</em>
<em>x = - 5 : 2</em>
<em>x = - 2.5</em>
<em>Good luck !</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

X = larger number, y = smaller number
x = 5y
x - y = 36
5y - y = 36
4y = 36
y = 36/4
y = 9
x = 5y
x = 5(9)
x = 45
ur numbers are 45 and 9 <==
