The sum of two numbers is 66. The larger number is 6 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?

The two numbers are 30 and 36. I know this because when I did 10 and 16, I realized that if I went up 10 for each number, the sum would go up by 20. So I did 20 and 26, and got 46. Then I did 30 and 36, and the sum was 66.

Hope this helps!

It might be helpful too to write out the equation. x plus x + 6 = 66; that means to solve for x we solve: 2x + 6 = 66: or x = 30; if we know x (30) then we know the other number (x + 6) = 36. I find it helps to put the equation together with a single unknown variable. When you solve for x; you also find the other variable, because you’ve expressed it in terms of x; (x + 6)

Answer:

a.-8,-5,0,2,6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the list which shows the integers in order from least to greatest.

We know that when we left side of zero on a number line then the values decrease and we go right side of zero then the value increases.

a.-8,-5,0,2,6

-8<-5<0<2<6

Hence, it is true.

b.0,2,-5,6,-8
