Answer:

24 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assign the variables x and y to the two numbers we can set up two equations,

x+y = 62

x = y + 14

Substituting the second equation into the first,

(y+14)+y = 62

2y + 14 = 62

subtract 14 on both sides

2y = 48

divideboth sides by 2

y = 24

If y = 24, then x = 38 because x is 14 more than y.

Required equation in slope intercept form is: $y=5x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let m denote the slope of line

m = 5

the line passes though (1,9)

Slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

$y= mx+b$

Putting m=5 in the equation

$y = 5x+b$

Putting (1,9) in the equation

$9 = 5(1) +b\\9 = 5+b\\b = 9-5\\b = 4$

Putting the value of b

$y = 5x+4$

Hence,

Required equation in slope intercept form is: $y=5x+4$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the missing angle:

180⁰ - 82⁰ = 98⁰

Find the sum of the angles given without the missing angle:

180⁰ - 98⁰ = 82⁰

The sum of both the angles is 82⁰

Write an equation:

5x + 8 + 6x + 8 = 82⁰

Collect the like terms together

11x + 16⁰ = 82⁰

Subtract 16⁰ from both sides

11x = 66⁰

Divide by 11 on both sides

x = 6⁰
