So the numbers are x and y
x:y=5:4
x/y=5/4
this means that x is worth 5 units and y is worth 4 units so
x:y=5:4, therefore it can be represented by
x:y=5z:4z
we know that they add to 720
720=5z+4z
add like terms
720=9z
divide by 9
80=z
multiply by 4
320

80=z
mutipply by 5
400

the numbers are 400 and 320

Does the point (6, 2) satisfy the equation y = x - -4?
Advocard [28]
Answer:
No it does not.

Explanation:

If you plug in (6,2) into the equation it will become false

y = x - -4

2 = 6-(-4)
2 = 6 + 4
2 = 10

So the answer is no it does not.
