Answer:

14 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by naming the first number x.

We can name the second number y.

We can set up equations to model our situation.

x+y=2x-8

x-y=2y-4

Let's simplify the equations.

x+y=2x-8

Subtract 2x from both sides

-x+y=-8

__________

x-y=2y-4

Subtract 2y from both sides.

x-3y=-4

Add the two equations together to eliminate x.

x-3y=-4

-x+y=-8

________

0x-2y=-12

-2y=-12

Divide both sides by -2.

y=6

The second number is 6.

Plug that back in.

x+6=2x-8

Subtract x from both sides

6=x-8

Add 8 to both sides

x=14

The first number is 14

Select all that apply. Which of the following shows that 5/6 = 15/18 is a proportion?
Radda [10]

Answer:

5 · 18 = 6 · 15

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 = 15/18

If this is proportional, then if we flip it, it should work,

To do this, we'll need to do the opposite to both sides

Which we'll multiply 15 by that 6 under the 5, and the 5 by the 18 which was under the 15

So;

5 · 18 = 15 · 6

Which can be rewritten as

5 · 18 = 6 · 15

Hope that helps :)
