Answer:

12 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

set up an equation:

since one number is 4 less than the other, let x represent it. for the other number, let x+4 represent it since it's 4 greater than x. set the equation equal to 28 because the sum of the two numbers is 28.

x+x+4=28

now, we solve the equation:

x+x+4=28

2x+4=28

2x=24

x=12.

Since x equals 12, to find the other number, which would be 4 greater than x, we would add:

12+4=16

So, the two numbers are 12 and 16.

Point M belongs to AN , point N belongs to BM , AB = 18 in and AM : MN : NB = 1:2:3. Find MN.
yulyashka [42]

MN = 6 in

add the parts of the ratio, 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

divide AB by 6 to find 1 part of the ratio

\frac{18}{6} = 3 ← 1 part

AM = 3 in ← 1 part

MN = 2 × 3 = 6 in ← 2 parts

NB = 3 × 3 = 9 in ← 3 parts

and 3 + 6 + 9 = 18 in = AB
