You want the minimum of the solutions to
x + y = 24
7x - y = 16
There are many ways to solve these equations. Adding them together, you get
8x = 40
x = 5
Since this value is less than 12, it is the smaller number. The smaller number is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:
i think she had 5 to start with. could the equation maybe be n+6=11?
ANSWER: x = 4 ( 8 + 160 )
STEP BY STEP:
Let's start by getting a variable to represent the number. Let's use x. ⇩
x=
Now we know that there is a sum of 8 and 160. Let's add them to each other ⇩
x= 8 + 160
Now we know that this will be multiplied. Let's put parentheses around the addition to symbolize this.
X= (8 + 160)
Finally multiply this by four, making your equation
x= 4 (8 + 160)
I don't know the options but from looking at the problem I'm assuming the answer is
x = 4 ( 8 + 160 )
