Let X be the first number
there is a 2 numbers distance between each even number eg.2 ,4, 6, 8, etc.
So the 2nd number is X+2
The sum of the 1st and 2nd numbers = 14
X + X+2 =14
2X +2 =14
2X = 14-2
2X = 12
X = 12/2
X = 6
Therefore,
The first number i.e, X = 6
And the second number i.e, X+2 = 6+2 =8
******************************************************************************
This is the only positive pair in case of two consecutive numbers if the are even numbers but not consecutive there will be more pairs
12 + 2 = 14
10 + 4 = 14
8 + 6 = 14 (Already found)
8/(3/4) = 8*(4/3) = 32/3 = 10 2/3

One question at a time, please. I will focus on #16 and ignore #18.
slope: 3/4 line passes thru (-8,2)
Write out y = mx + b. Subst. 2 for y. Subst. -8 for x Subst. (3/4) for m:
2 = (3/4)(-8) + b. Find b. 2 = -6 + b => b = 8
So your equation is y = (3/4)x + 8. Please, use ( ) around those fractions!
Answer:
Note that with embedded parentheses (parentheses within parenthesis), you always perform operations inside out; do the math on the inside before the outside. Note that if you have an absolute value | | sign which means take the positive value only of a number inside.
