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.

put values

t= 3722/(2000*7.6%)
