One number is two more than four times another. Their sum is -13. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

1st number=x

2nd number=4x+2

x+(4x+2)=-13

x+4x+2=-13

x+4x=-15

5x=-15

x=-3

2nd number=4x+2

4(-3)+2=

-12+2=-10

Check your work

Sum of both numbers: (-3) + (-10)=-13

2nd number=4x+2

-10=4(-3)+2

-10=-12+2

-10=-10

Answer 2

The numbers are n and 4n + 2

n + 4n + 2 = -13

5n + 2 = -13

5n = -15

n = - 3
