Answer:
12 and 176
Step-by-step explanation:
let one number be n , then the other number is 14n + 8, that is 8 more than 14 times the other number n.
sum the two numbers and equate to 188
n + 14n + 8 = 188 ( simplify left side )
15n + 8 = 188 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
15n = 180 ( divide both sides by 15 )
n = 12
and
14n + 8 = 14(12) + 8 = 168 + 8 = 176
The two numbers are then 12 and 176
