The larger of two numbers is 4 less than four times the smaller number. The sum of the two numbers is 51. Find the two numbers What are the numbers?

40,11

Step-by-step explanation:

larger number=a

smaller number =b

a+b=51

a=4b-4

4b-4+b=51

5b=51+4

5b=55

b=11

a=4*11-4=44-4=40

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3

1/4 because there is 4 grades.
