Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Larger number: 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number.
Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)
x + 3x -2 = 46
Add 3x + x:
4x - 2 = 46
Add 2 to both sides:
4x = 46 + 2
Add 46 + 2:
4x = 48
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12 is the smaller number
Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.
I hope this helped you. If it did, please consider, rating, pressing thanks and/or giving my answer 'Brainliest.' Have a great day! :)
You are right, it's C. I checked in geogebra bro/girly/dude.
Hope this helps !

1/2X+4=X-4
1/2X+8=X
8=1/2X
16=X
(Pick one of the equations )
y=1/2X+4
y=(1/2)(16)+4
y=12
point: (16,12)
I cant really show you how to graph this but i can try to explain it. you would make a 4 quadrant graph and do rise over run.
1)start by making the graph
2) on the line of the graph marked Y is where you would put -4
3) From -4, you would go up (rise) by 2 and go over to the right 1 where you end is the slop
