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!

How to solve for literal equations with multiple variables
myrzilka [38]
<span>See examples for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable: Solve A = bh for b. Since h is multiplied times b, you must divide both sides by h in order to isolate b. Since (c+d) is divided by 2, you must first multiply both sides of the equation by 2</span>
