So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so
solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a
Answer:
1. Three things influence the margin of error in a confidence interval estimate of a population mean: sample size, variability in the population, and confidence level. For each of these quantities separately, explain briefly what happens to the margin of error as that quantity increases.
Answer: As sample size increases, the margin of error decreases. As the variability in the population increases, the margin of error increases. As the confidence level increases, the margin of error increases. Incidentally, population variability is not something we can usually control, but more meticulous collection of data can reduce the variability in our measurements. The third of these—the relationship between confidence level and margin of error seems contradictory to many students because they are confusing accuracy (confidence level) and precision (margin of error). If you want to be surer of hitting a target with a spotlight, then you make your spotlight bigger.

The closest point above on this line is (0,9)
You can find this by using the rise over run method. Since the slope is -2, we can move to the next whole number point by observing the fraction 2/-1.
Rise = 2
Run = -1
If you start on the point (1,7) and rise two, it will bring you to (1,9), then you have to move back one space (or run) to (0,9).
