The sum of two numbers is 26. four less than twice the smaller number is equal to the larger number x. find the larger number.

Smaller number = 10 (y)

Larger number = 16  (x)

Step-by-step explanation

Check:

x+y=26

2y-4=x

16+10=26

2(10)-4=16

20-4=16

16=16

step-by-step explanation:

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
