Step-by-step explanation:
"One number is eight less than a second number."
x = y-8
"Twice the first is 12 more than 4 times the second."
2x = 4y+12
substitution
2(y-8) = 4y + 12
2y - 16 = 4y + 12
2y = -28
y = -14
x = y-8 = -22

Answer:
Joseph is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
I cannot see the options in the drop-down menus. Even though, Joseph is correct because the difference between the longest length (which is 12 ft) and shortest length (which is 9 1/2 ft) is 12 - 9 1/2 = 2 1/2 ft. It doesn't matter how many ropes measure those lengths.
I don’t think you’re wrong good job
