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.

Find the measure of each angle.<br><br> m∠BAC=<br> m∠CAD=
NARA [144]

i dont have much time to go through all the work but i can tell you that since its a 90 degree angle, your equation would be 90=15x-2+7x+4. Once you get the value of X plug that into each of the equations. For example if your x value was 2 you would do 15(2)-2. Thats just an example.

The figure is reflected across line m and the reflected across line n. What type of transformation is the result?
slega [8]

It's a translation.

A reflection across a line is like flipping that object like a pancake over the line.  It gets turned upside-down.

When you flip the pancake again, now across a parallel line, it gets turned right-side up again, just in a new location.
