hyun is comparing two numbers. he knows the larger number is twice the value of 4 more than the smaller number, x. he also knows their difference is 11. which equation can he use to find the value of the smaller number, x?

a) x = 4 x + 2

b) x = 2 (x + 4)

c) (4 x + 2) - x = 11

d) 2 (x + 4) - x = 11

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the smaller number

y ----> the larger number

we know that

The larger number is twice the value of 4 more than the smaller number

----> equation A

Their difference is 11

----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

Solve for x

Find the value of y

therefore

The numbers are 3 and 14

d

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → d
