zhannawk [14.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>The answer is 13</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two positive and consecutive old numbers are x and x - 2.

=> x(x - 2) = 143

=> x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0

=> x^2 + 11x - 13x - 143 = 0

=> x(x + 11) - 13(x + 11) = 0

=> (x + 11)(x - 13) = 0

=>  x = -11 (invalid)

or x = 13 (valid), the remaining number is 13 - 2 = 11

=> The two numbers are 11 and 13, and the greater number is 13.

Hope this helps!

Which shows how the distributive property can be used to evaluate 7x8 4/5?
Yuri [45]

Answer:

61 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

we realize that 8 4/5 can be written as [8 + (4/5)]

hence 7 x 8 4/5

= 7 x [8 + (4/5)]

= 7 [8 + (4/5)]   (use the distributive property, see attached for reference)

= 7(8) + 7(4/5)

= 56 + 28/5  (convert 28/5 into mixed fraction)

= 56 + 5 3/5

= 61 3/5 (answer)
