The sum of two numbers is 24. the second number is 4 more than the first number. let a represent the first number and let b represent the second number. what are the two numbers? use the table to answer the question.8 and 16 10 and 14 11 and 13 15 and 9

  10 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

You need only check the answers to see which one satisfies the problem requirements. The differences between the second and first numbers are ...

  8, 4, 2, -6

Only one pair has the second number 4 more than the first: 10 and 14.

Since you are given variable definitions, perhaps you're expected to write and solve equations.

  a + b = 24 . . . . . the sum of the two numbers is 24

  -a +b = 4 . . . . . . the second number is 4 more than the first

Adding these two equations gives ...

  (a +b) +(-a +b) = (24) +(4)

  2b = 28 . . . . .  simplify; next, divide by 2

  b = 14 . . . . . . .  identifies 10 and 14 as the correct answer

1)is not similar since corresponding sides are not in the same ratio

2)are similar since corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal

hope it will
