Answer:

larger number = 16

smaller number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger number = x

let the smaller number = y

Difference between the two numbers is 4:

x - y = 4

The larger number is 8 less than twice the smaller number

x = 2y - 8

Rewrite x - y = 4 to make x the subject:

x = 4 + y

Substitute x = 4 + y  into  x = 2y - 8 and solve for y:

4 + y = 2y - 8

4 + 8 = 2y - y

12 = y

Now substitute the found value for y into x - y = 4 and solve for x:

x - 12 = 4

x = 4 + 12 = 16

Find the equation of the straight line that has slope m = -6 and passes through point (2, -7)
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

y

=

3

2

x

+

1

Explanation:

To find the slope  

(

m

)

of the straight line that passes through two points  

(

x

1

,

y

1

)

and  

(

x

2

,

y

2

)

apply:

(

y

1

−

y

2

)

=

m

(

x

1

−

x

2

)

In this example our two points are  

(

0

,

1

)

and  

(

2

,

4

)

Hence:  

(

1

−

4

)

=

m

(

0

−

2

)

−

3

=

−

2

m

→

m

=

3

2

The equation of a straight line in slope  

(

m

)

and intercept  

(

c

)

form is:

y

=

m

x

+

c

In this example:

y

=

3

2

x

+

c

Since the point  

(

0

,

1

)

is on this line  

→

1

=

0

+

c

Hence,  

c

=

1

∴

y

=

3

2

x

+

1

is our required straight line.
