Write and solve a system of linear​ equations: The larger of two numbers is 18 more than 5 times

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kryger [21]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

8 and - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the larger number and y the smaller , then

x = 5y + 18 → (1)

3x + 4y = 16 → (2)

substitute x = 5y + 18 into (2)

3(5y + 18) + 4y = 16 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

15y + 54 + 4y = 16

19y + 54 = 16 ( subtract 54 from both sides )

19y = - 38 ( divide both sides by - 19 )

y = - 2

substitute y = - 2 into (1)

x = 5(- 2) + 18 = - 10 + 18 = 8

then larger number is 8 and smaller is - 2

Factor the trinomial f(x) = 2x² + 5x – 12 ?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × -12 = - 24 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 8 and - 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 8x - 3x - 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) ← factor out (x + 4) from each term

(x + 4)(2x - 3)

Thus

f(x) = 2x² + 5x - 12 = (x + 4)(2x - 3) ← in factored form
