The correct answer is 0.96
So let’s make the smaller number x and the larger one y....
Set up your equation by following the words signaling mathematical operations from the question.
y = 8 + 4x
y + 4x = 40
Now let’s bring all variables to one side and solve the system if equations with elimination...
y - 4x = 8
y + 4x = 40
Add the equations:
2y = 48
y = 24
Plug the y-value into one of the original equations:
24 = 8 + 4x
16 = 4x
4x = 16
x = 4
And there you have it! The smaller number [x] is 4 and the larger number [y] is 24.
