Answer:

First number is 6

Second number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick is that we need to set up two equations. Nor simplicity's sake I'm going to say the first number is x and the second number is y.

First we know that the first number (x) is 4 less than the second number (y).

Less means subtraction.

x-4=y

Then we know that 4 times x is 14 more than 5 times the second. More is addition and times is multiplication.

4x=14+5y

Now we use substitution to find out what x (the first number) is, subbing x-4 in for y.

4x=14+5(x-4)

4x=14+5x-20

-x=-6

x=6

First number is 6

Lastly, we sub 6 back into one of the equations. It's easier to us the first equation.

x-4=y

6-4=y

2=y

The second number is 2

Salutations!

Growth meters per second = 4.8 × 10^{-9}

First, you need to convert standard form into a normal number.

4.8 × 10^{-9} = 4.800000000

a) In one day there are 24 hours, therefore you will multiplying 4.800000000 and 24

4.800000000 × 24 = 115.2  = 115.2 × 10^{-9} (standard form)

b) 365 days in a year, so multiply 4.800000000 and 365

4.800000000 × 365 = 1752 = 1.7 × 10^{3} (standard form)

Hope I helped (:

have a great day!
