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

The coordinates below represent two linear equations. How many solutions does this system of equations have?
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Use the points to find the equations of both your lines.
By using the formula for finding slope where: m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Your first equation is             y = -2x+4
Your second equation is        y = -2x+7
Normally you want to set these equal to each other and see where they are equal... however, as you can clearly see, these two equations are parallel. Parallel equations don't intersect, which would mean your answer is A, no solutions.
