The slope for this problem is -3
1. Rational/The sum of two rationals is always rational
2. Irrational/ the sum of a rational and an irrational is always irrational
3. Irrational/The product of a nonzero rational and an irrational is always irrational
4. Rational/The product of two rationals is always rational
Pretty much all the irrational numbers are the ones with radical signs over them and the rational numbers are the fractions and whole numbers. Once you identify the two numbers to be rational or irrational, you can then find your answer within the second part of the answers.
The numbers are: "7 " and "21 " .

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 " .
