The difference of two numbers is 16 the greater number is five less than four times a small number find the two numbers

The numbers are 23 and 7  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up the equations

   Let x = the greater number

  and y = the smaller number. Then

(1) x - y = 16

       4y = 4 times the smaller number and

  4y - 5 = 5 less than 4 times the smaller number. Then

(2)     x = 4y - 5

You have a system of two equations:

2. Solve the equations

The larger number is 23; the smaller number is 7.

3. Check

OK.

29 is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8
