Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be rewritten to ...
8x = 13n +4 . . . . for some integers x and n
x = (13n +4)/8
For x to be an integer, 13n must be an odd multiple of 4. Since 13 is an odd number, n=4 will do.
x = (13·4 +4)/8 = 56/8
x = 7

The graph shows a "trial and error" method of solution. Only values of x less than 13 need to be examined.

Answer:
one number= x = 44
the other number= (x-4)= 40
Step-by-step explanation:
one number= x
the other number= (x-4)
x + (x-4) = 84
2x= 84+4
2x= 88
x= 88/2= 44
one number= x = 44
the other number= (x-4)= 40
