The numbers are 5 and 12.
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
x +y =17
y = 3x - 3
x +3x -3 = 17
4x = 20
x = 5
smaller number is 5
y = 3(5) - 3
y = 12
larger number is 12.

Winnie wrote the following riddle.I am a number between 60 and 100.My ones digit is two less than my tens digit.I am a prime num
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

79

Step-by-step explanation:

60<xy<100

y -2 =x


if it is prime

y cannot be even

so y could be      1,3,5,7,9

x would then be 9,1,3,5,7

but to be between 60 and 100

x must be 7 or 9

so the number must be 79 or 57

57 is not prime so

the number is 79

Express a(2) (2a(-1/2)+a) in its simplest form
Soloha48 [4]
First lets simplify the first term and yield (2a)

The second term:
1.   2a * (-1/2) = -a
2.   -a + a = 0

Now we have simplified both terms to: (2a) (0)

Anything multiplied by 0 is 0, so the answer is also 0.
