Explanation:
_______________________________________
The numbers are: "x" and "x + 14" .
x + (x + 14) = 28 . Solve for "x" ; and then solve for "x + 14" .
_______________________________________
→ x + (x + 14) = 28 ;
Rewrite as:
→ x + x + 14 = 28 ;
→ 1x + 1x + 14 = 28 ;
→ 2x + 14 = 28 ;
Subtract "14" from each side of the equation;
→ 2x + 14 − 14 = 28 <span>− 14 ;
</span> → 2x = 14 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ 2x / 2 = 14 / 2 ;
→ x = 7 .
_________________________________________
So; one of the numbers is: " 7 " .
The other number is: " x + 14 " ; which equals: " 7 + 14 = 21".
The other number is: "21 " .

The numbers are: "7 " and "21 " .

Answer:
x=4 y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
We begin with 1,000 fish in a lake.
Each year the population declines to 15%
Then they put back 500 fish in the lake.
The equation: (1000 * .85) +500
-13 becomes +13. 0 stays 0. 13 + 0 is 13, which is your answer.
