The sum of two numbers is 98. If four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 18. Find the two numbers,
The larger number is
The smaller number is

Hey there!

Let's make a system of equations using x and y to find the two numbers.X is smaller and y will be larger.

x+y=98

y-4x=18

Now, let's solve the bottom equation for y so we can use substitution.

y=18+4x

Now we plug this into the first equation.

x+18+4x=98

5x+18=98

5x=80

x=16

Now, we plug this into the first equation to find y.

y=82.

So, the larger number is 82 and the smaller number is 16.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
