To ease your problem, consider "L" as you x-axis
Then the coordinate become:
A(- 4 , 3) and B(1 , 2) [you notice that just the y's changed]
This is a reflection problem.
Reflect point B across the river line "L" to get B', symmetric of B about L.
The coordinates of B'(1 , -1) [remember L is our new x-axis]
JOIN A to B' . AB' intersect L, say in H
We have to find the shortest way such that AH + HB = shortest.
But HB = HB' (symmetry about L) , then I can write instead of
AH + HB →→ AH + HB'. This is the shortest since the shortest distance between 2 points is the straight line and H is the point requiered

to halp you and thank you
Answer:
the answer is C.) Honduras
Let x = small number
Let y = large number
Because they are consecutive even numbers,they must have a difference of 2:
y-x=2
y=2+x
Eqn 1: x+(2+x)=14
Eqn 2: x(2+x)=48
2x+2=14
2x=12
x=6
This means y must be 8
so your two numbers are 6 and 8
