The answer is c hope this helped
X=27 and y=11
if you let each number equal x and y we know the sum is 38 so x+y=38
and the smaller is 16 less than the larger
. so if we say the smaller number is 7 then x-16=y
these can be solved as a simultaneous equation. x+(x-16)=38
2x-16=38
2x=54
x=27
(27)-16=y
y=11
so the answer is x=27 y=11
A model shows the visualize of what you need to do in order to complete the problem your asked. It can also show important steps and make it easier for you to answer the question, like length×height×width.
C because the x's repeat with the 3 and 3. If the x's repeat it is not a function.
Hope that helps.
