Answer:

Larger number = 6.

Smaller number = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lower number be x then the other number = 8-x.

Also;

5(8 - x) + 4x = 38

40 - 5x + 4x = 38

-x = -2

x = 2 = lower number.

Larger number = 8 - 2 = 6.

Answer:

6 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y with x > y, then

x + y = 8 → (1)

5x + 4y = 38 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting y from both sides

x = 8 - y → (3)

Substitute x = 8 - y into (2)

5(8 - y) + 4y = 38 ← distribute and simplify left side

40 - 5y + 4y = 38

40 - y = 38 ( subtract 40 from both sides )

- y = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = 8 - 2 = 6

The larger number is 6 and the smaller number is 2

At 8:00 am, here's what we know about two airplanes: Airplane #1 has an elevation of 80870 ft and is decreasing at the rate of 4

wel

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

8 am

airplane #1: x = 80870 ft, v = -450 ft/ min

airplane #2: x = 5000 ft, v = 900ft/min

We must note that the airplanes are moving at a constant speed. The equation for the airplanes is given by:

$\begin{gathered} E=x_1+vt----1 \\ E=x_2+vt----2 \\ where\colon E=elevation,ft;x=InitialElevation,ft; \\ v=velocity,ft\text{/}min;t=time,min \\ x_1=80,870ft,v=-450ft\text{/}min \\ E=80870-450t----1 \\ x_2=5,000ft,v=900ft\text{/}min \\ E=5000+900t----2 \end{gathered}$

We equate equations 1 & 2 to get the time both airlanes will be at the same elevation. We have:

$\begin{gathered} 5000+900t=80870-450t \\ \text{Add 450t to both sides, we have:} \\ 900t+450t+5000=80870-450t+450t \\ 1350t+5000=80870 \\ \text{Subtract 5000 from both sides, we have:} \\ 1350t+5000-5000=80870-5000 \\ 1350t=75870 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 1350, we have:} \\ \frac{1350t}{1350}=\frac{75870}{1350} \\ t=56.2min \\ \\ \text{After }56.2\text{ minutes, both airplanes will be at the same elevation} \end{gathered}$

The elevation at that time (when the elevations of the two airplanes are the same) is given by substituting the value of time into equations 1 & 2. We have:

$\begin{gathered} E_1=80870-450t \\ E_1=80870-450(56.2) \\ E_1=80870-25290 \\ E_1=55580ft \\ \\ E_2=5000+900t \\ E_2=5000+900(56.2) \\ E_2=5000+50580 \\ E_2=55580ft \\ \\ \therefore E_1\equiv E_2=55580ft \end{gathered}$
