I assume by starting value, you mean y-intercept. The y-intercept is 15

To find this, we need to use slope intercept form and the given information to find it.

y = mx + b ----> plug in the known values

9 = -3/4(8) + b

9 = -6 + b

15 = b

Therefore, the starting value is 15.

4- (+) (-4) is similar to 4+4 by the rule of addition in integers that is if Negative + Negative then Add the number and put the sign of greater number.

<h3>What is integer?</h3>

Zero, a positive natural number, or a negative integer denoted by a minus sign are all examples of integers. The inverse additives of the corresponding positive numbers are the negative numbers. An integer, pronounced "IN-tuh-jer," is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero and is not a fraction. Integer examples include: -5, 1, 5, 8, 97, and 3,043. 1.43, 1 3/4, 3.14, and other numbers that are not integers are some examples. Three categories of integers exist: Zero (0) (0) Good integers (Natural numbers) Integer Negatives (Additive inverse of Natural Numbers).

The rules of addition in integers says,

- + - = +

by this,

4-(-4)=8

by concept of addition,

4+4=8

One positive number is 14 less than another positive number. If the reciprocal of the smaller number is added to five times the

Kipish [7]

Let's call the two numbers $s$ and $l$ .

Given these variables, we can say: $s = l - 14$ , based on the first sentence in the problem.

Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

$\dfrac{1}{s} + 5\Big( \dfrac{1}{l} \Big) = \dfrac{1}{4}$

To solve, we can simply substitute $l -14$ in for $s$ in the second equation and solve.

$\dfrac{1}{l - 14} + \dfrac{5}{l} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Set up

$\dfrac{l}{l(l - 14)} + \dfrac{5(l - 14)}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition

$\dfrac{l + 5l - 70}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Simplify

$4(6l - 70) = l(l - 14)$

Cross multiplication ( $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \Rightarrow ad = bc$ )

$24l - 280 = l^2 - 14l$

Simplify

$l^2 - 38l + 280 = 0$

Subtract $24l - 280$ from both sides of the equation

$(l - 10)(l - 28) = 0$

Factor left side of the equation

$l = 10, 28$

Zero Product Property

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,

$s = 10 - 14 = -4$ ,

Since $s$ is not positive in this case, $l = 10$ is not a solution.

Thus, $l = 28$ is our only solution. In this case,

$s = 28 - 14 = 14$ ,

which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
