The larger of two numbers is five more than the smaller. Twice the larger is twenty less than four times the smaller. Find the numbers.

Small number = 15.

Larger number = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x.

The larger of two numbers is five more than the smaller. Thus, the larger number is x+5.

Twice the larger is twenty less than four times the smaller. This can.be written as:

2(x + 5) = 4x - 20

2x + 10 = 4x - 20

2x - 4x = -20 - 10

-2x = -30

x = 30/2

x = 15

The smaller number is 15

Larger number = x + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
