One counting number is 4 times great as a counting number.the product of the two number is 36.what is the sum of the two number

The sum of the two numbers is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the counting numbers be x and y.

Then we can write the following equations

x=4y.......1 (one is four times greater )

x(y)=36.....2 (the product of the two)

Putting equation 1 into equation 2, we get

4y(y)=36

Dividing through by 4,we get

Taking square root of both side, we obtain

y=3

Putting the value of y into equation , we get

x=4(3)=12

Hence the numbers are 3 and 12

Therefore the sum of the two numbers is 3+12=15

multiply 4, then subtract 2 from answer gotten.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 4 = 16

16 - 2 = 14

14 x 4 = 56

56 - 2 = 54

54 x 4 = 216

216 - 2 = 214

214 x 4 = 856

etc.
