Last one
Because you have to substitute it
So you do X times 2 - 16 = 0
And the only X that works is the last one cause 8 X 2 = 16 and 16 -16=0

Always add them all around and then divide the two and you should get the correct answer
Answer:
-20/3 & -40/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s say that the 1st number is X and the 2nd number is Y.
Given that x:y = 1:2 => x/y = 1/2 => 2x = y
and a-5/y+4 = 5/4 (The first number is decreased by 5 and the second number is increased by 4.)
=> 4(x - 5) = 5 (y + 4)
=> 4x - 20 = 5y + 20
=> 4x - 5y = 40
As, 2x = y , 4x = 2y
=> 2y - 5y = 40
=> -3y = 40
=> y = -40/3 ; x = y/2 = -20/3
This might be confusing but I hope this helps :)
