One number is less than a second number. twice the secind number is less 16 less than 4 times the first. find the smaller of two numbers

The smaller number is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

One number is 3 less than a second number. Twice the second number is 16 less than 4 times the first. Find the smaller of two numbers

Let

x and y the numbers

x=y-3 > equation A

2y=4x-16 > equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

2y=4(y-3)-16

2y=4y-12-16

4y-2y=12+16

2y=28

y=14

x=14-3=11

47

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
