Let the numbers be x and y

x= y-2.... (1)
and, 2y = 16 + 4x.... (2)

putting the value of x from (1) in (2),

2y = 16 + 4x
=> 2y = 16 + 4(y-2)
=> 2y = 16 + 4y - 8
=> 2y = 8 + 4y
=> 2y - 4y = 8
=> -2y = 8
=> y =-8/2
=> y= -4

and x = -4-2 = -6

hence , in short the numbers are -2 and -4

Solve <br><br> 0.6(10n + 25) = 10 + 5n ?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: x=-5

<u>Simplify both sides of the equation</u>

(0.6)(10n)+(0.6)(25)=10+5n(Distribute)\\6n+15=10+5n\\6n+15=5n+10

<u>Subtract 5n from both sides</u>

6n+15-5n=5n+10-5n\\n+15=10

<u>Subtract 15 from both sides</u>

n+15-15=10-15\\n=-5
