## anonymous 4 years ago the difference between two numbers is 4. three times the smaller number minus four times the larger is -28.. what are the numbers?

1. anonymous

x = 16 y = 12

2. anonymous

9a squared - 121

3. anonymous

x - first number, y - second number $\begin{cases}x-y=4\\3y-4x=-28\end{cases}$ I hope you can do it yourself now x=16 y=12

The first number: x ==> smaller number The second number: x+4 ==> larger number =>3(x)-4(x+4)=-28 =>3x-4x-16=-28 =>3x-4x=16-28 =>-x=12 =>x=12 The number are: 12,16 :D

9. anonymous

the problem you typed is definitely 12 and 16, maybe you typed it wrong?

10. anonymous

nope, read it word for word

11. anonymous

well, try plugging 12 and 16 into the problem you typed and you'll see they work correctly

12. anonymous
