The larger of two numbers is 9 less than four times the smaller number if the sum of the two numbers is 26. What is the smaller number?

7

Step-by-step explanation:

l = larger number

s = smaller number

l = 4s - 9

l + s = 26

so 4s - 9 + (s) = 26

simplify--> 5s - 9 = 26

--> 5s = 35

---> s = 7

substitute 7 for s to find l

l + 7 = 26

l = 19

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
