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!

I might be misreading something here but if:
x^5+243=0 subtract 243 from both sides
x^5=-243 raise both sides to the 1/5 power (or take the fifth root of both sides)
x=-3
So there is only one solution, x=-3

when you combine like terms you are left with 10x + y + 8 which is 3 terms.
Answer:
37 %
Step-by-step explanation:
here..
only Dog = 20- 5 - 4 - 1 = 10
only goats = 30 - 5 - 3 - 1 = 21
only cattle = 40 - 4 - 3 - 1 = 32
then ... since the maximum percentage is 100 %
people who don't own any animal = 100% - 10% - 21% - 32% = 37 %
