First no. = x
Second no. = y

Equation Formation.
x = 2 y + 5
x - 2 y = 5.........equation (i)

x + y - 1 = 16
x + y = 17............. equation(ii)

Solving Equation
x + y = 17
x - 2 y = 5
     ⇅
3 y = 12
   y = 4

x = 2 y +5 
x = 2(4) + 5
 x = 13

Answer = 4 , 13

Need help for #9 please
Ierofanga [76]
Ok as sqrt(x^6 + 5) approaches infinity it goes to x^3
Same with the denominator because x^3 is the highest power

On the bottom, the factor on x^3 is 4 so on the top to make the limit evaluate to 1/3, a has to be 16/9 so then when you neglect all of the other powers besides the highest, it goes to 4/3 because you take the square root and then it simplifies to 1/3
