Question

The summ of two numbers is two. THe difference between eight and twice the smaller number is two less than four times the larger. Find the two munbers.

Answer 1

find the value of the variable and ST if S is between R and T.
1.RS=7a, ST=12a,RS=28
2. RS=12,ST=2x,RT=34
3. RS=2x,ST=3x,RT=25
4. RS=16,ST=2x,RT=5x+10
5. RS=3y+1,ST=2y,RT=21
6. RS=4y-1,ST=2y-1,RT=5y

Answer 2

David, let x stand for smaller number and y for the larger. This gives you these two equations.

x + y = 2 or x = 2 - y

2x - 8 = 4y - 2

Substitute the value of x from the first equation into the second and solve.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Answer 3

Kaniz, if you have a question, it is much better to put it in as a separate post in <Post a New Question> rather than attaching it to a previous question, where is more likely to be overlooked.

I have no idea what ST, S, R and T indicate, so I cannot help you. Define your variables more clearly in another separate post, and we will try to help you. However, we will not do the work for you.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Answer 4

find the valueof the variable and ST if S is between R and T.

RS=7a, ST=12a, RS=28
