The sum of two numbers is 24. the second number is 4 more than the first number. let a represent the first number and let b represent the second number. what are the two numbers? use the table to answer the question.8 and 16 10 and 14 11 and 13 15 and 9

  10 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

You need only check the answers to see which one satisfies the problem requirements. The differences between the second and first numbers are ...

  8, 4, 2, -6

Only one pair has the second number 4 more than the first: 10 and 14.

Since you are given variable definitions, perhaps you're expected to write and solve equations.

  a + b = 24 . . . . . the sum of the two numbers is 24

  -a +b = 4 . . . . . . the second number is 4 more than the first

Adding these two equations gives ...

  (a +b) +(-a +b) = (24) +(4)

  2b = 28 . . . . .  simplify; next, divide by 2

  b = 14 . . . . . . .  identifies 10 and 14 as the correct answer

true

step-by-step explanation:

1 x=22.52

2: 65/39=604+39x

65x-39x=604

26x=604

x=604/26

×=23.23
