Answer:
The numbers are
and
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the smaller positive real number
y -----> the larger positive real number
we know that
A positive real number is 2 less than another
so

----> equation A
When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49
so
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B

solve for x

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form
is equal to
in this problem we have

so
substitute in the formula
so
The positive real number is
Find the value of y

Answer:
None.
Step-by-step explanation:
This has no real factors.
Answer:
14) false
15) false
Step-by-step explanation:
14) 120% of a positive whole number is always greater than the number. If the number is 1, 120% of it would give us 1.2 which is greater than 1. However if the number is a negative whole number, 120% of it would give us a smaller number. Let's try -1. 120% of -1 would give us -1.2, which is smaller than -1. Hence the statement is false.
15) 0.5% of a number is 0.5/100 of the number so we should multiply the number by 5/1000. 5/100 is only 5% of the number. Hence the statement is also false.
Answer:
B. -y = -x
Step-by-step explanation:
When the values on both sides of the equal sign are changed, it becomes a negative number.
