The sum of two numbers is 58. The smaller number is 16 less than the larger number. What are the numbers?

hope it may help you

Step-by-step explanation:

n and n+14 are the numbers or you can use n and n-14; either way

n+n+14=58

2n+14=58

2n=58-14

2n=44

n=22 and n+14=22+14=36

22 and 36 are the numbers

or,...

58/2=29

29 and 29

28 and 30

27 and 31

26 and 32

25 and 33

24 and 34

23 and 35

22 and 36 answer

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
