The two numbers by setting up a linear equation are 32 and 56 respectively
Linear function and equation
A linear equation is an equation that has a linear degree of 1. Let the 2 unknown number be x and y
If the sum of two numbers is 88, then;
x + y = 88
If one number is 4 more than half the other number, then
x = 1/2y + 4
Substitute equation 2 into 1
x + y = 88
(1/2y+4) + y = 88
1/2y+y + 4 -88 = 0
3/2y - 84 = 0
3/2y. = 84
3y = 2(84)
3y = 168
y = 56
Determine the value of x
x =88 - 56
x = 32
Hence the two numbers by setting up a linear equation are 32 and 56 respectively
