Let's start by assigning variables for each of the numbers. Let the first one be x, the second one be y.

x + y = 36

x = 3y - 4

Now we solve using substitution.

3y - 4 + y = 36

This simplifies into:

4y = 32

y = 8.

Now we need to solve for x.

36 - 8 = 28 (because x + y = 36)

x = 28

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence} \\\\ S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad  \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ r=\textit{common ratio}\\ ----------\\ a_1=2\\ r=8\\ n=4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ S_4=2\left( \cfrac{1-8^4}{1-8} \right)\implies S_4=2\left( \cfrac{-4095}{-7} \right) \\\\\\ S_4=2(585)\implies S_4=1170

52 is what percent of 260
Nataly_w [17]
"is" means =
"what percent" can represent x
"of" is multiplying

so 52 = 260x
so divide 260 by both sides so
x = 52/260 = 0.2
and 0.2 = 20%
