That should be the answer
Can u state the problem it is very blurry thx
A. x= 2 y=4
Hoped this is correct.
Answer:
(x-8)(x+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find out what are the factors of the constant?
2) Which of those add to equal the coefficient before the x value?
In this particular equation, we have the constant being 24. The first two factors that come to mind are 6 and 4, and 8 and 3. Since it is -24, we need one of these numbers to be negative.
Let's look at our "b" value, or the coefficient behind the x value, 5. Looking at our factors and thinking of addition (since one of them must be negative, it will most likely be subtraction instead of addition) I can see that
8+ −3=5
which is one of the factors of -24.
This means that we can factor our equation using these numbers, getting us the following:
(x−3)(x+8)
Hope this helped!
We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.
We can make two equations from the given:
x = 18 + y
("One number is 18 more than another number")
x + y = 36
("The sum of the numbers is 36")
If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:
x + y = 36
(18 + y) + y = 36
18 + 2y = 36
2y = 18
y = 9
Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:
x = 18 + y
x = 18 + 9
x = 27
<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

Let me know if you'd like me to explain anything I did here.
