Answer: the first number is 11 38/41

The second number is 10 4/41

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number.

Let y represent the second number.

4 times one number plus 3 times the other is 78. It means that

4x + 3y = 78- - - - - - - - - -1

3 times the first number minus 8 times the other is -45. It means that

3x - 8y = - 45- - - - - - - - - 2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 4. It becomes

12x + 9y = 234

12x - 32y = - 180

Subtracting, it becomes

41y = 414

y = 414/41

y = 10 4/41

Substituting y = 414/41 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 3 × 414/41 = 78

4x + 1242/41 = 78

4x = 78 - 1242/41

4x = 1956/41

x = 1956/41 × 1/4

x = 1956/164

x = 11 38/41

Yolanda owns 4 rabbits. She expects the number of rabbits to double every year.
jok3333 [9.3K]
R=Number of rabbits

y=Years that have passed by { y ≥ 0 }

R=f(y) --> R is a function of y.
---------------------------------------------

Note that when:

y=0, R=4 ---> Point: (0, 4)

y=1, R=8 ---> Point (1, 8)

y=2, R=16 ---> Point (2, 16)

y=3, R=32 ---> Point (3, 32)

y=4, R=64 ---> Point (4, 64)

--------------------------------------------

So the equation you want is going to form a curved graph.

That equation is:

R={ 2 }^{ y+2 }

<em>*You can test out this function on any decent graphing software.</em>
