The sum of two numbers is 256. when we divide the larger number by the smaller number, the quotient is 8 and the remainder is 13. find the two numbers.

The numbers are 229 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y, where x>y.

Their sum is 256, so we have .

When we divide the larger number by the smaller number, the quotient is 8 and the remainder is 13.

We substitute the second equation into the first equation to get:

.

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
