Answer:

7 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

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

x = y + 6 → (1)

\frac{1}{4} (x + y) = y - 2 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )

x + y = 4y - 8 ( subtract 4y from both sides )

x - 3y = - 8 → (2)

Substitute x = y + 6 into (2)

y + 6 - 3y = - 8

- 2y + 6 = - 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2y = - 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = 7

Substitute y = 7 into (1)

x = 7 + 6 = 13

The 2 numbers are 7 and 13

Determine the equation of the circle graphed below .
Volgvan

Answer:

(x+1)^2 + (y-7)^2 = 2^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is at (-1,7) and the radius from the center to the edge is 2, so the equation should look like (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

You would flip the signs of the center so that when you solve the equation it ends up in the correct place.
