The second of two numbers is 4 more than the first to some of the numbers 56 find the numbers

Given that the second of two numbers is 4 more than the first number.

The sum of the two numbers is 56.

We need to determine the two numbers.

The two numbers:

Let x denote the first number.

Let y denote the second number.

From the given, the relation between the two numbers can be written in equation as,

 and

Let us use the substitution method to determine the values of x and y.

Hence, substituting in the equation , we get;

Thus, the value of x is 26.

Now, substituting in the equation , we get;

Thus, the value of y is 30.

Therefore, the first number is 26 and the second number is 30.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

26
