Answer:

Option C. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x---> one whole number

y ---> the second whole number

we know that

x+y=(x-y)+24

$x-x+y+y=24\\2y=24\\y=12$

therefore

One of the number must be 12

Given the following question:

First expression:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{12x^3-14x^2+16x-8}{3x-2} \\ \text{ Factor the expression:} \\ 12x^3-14x^2+16x-8=2(6x^3-7x^2+8x-4) \\ \frac{2\left(6x^3-7x^2+8x-4\right)}{3x-2} \\ \text{ Factor:} \\ 2\left(6x^3-7x^2+8x-4\right)=(3x-2)(2x^2-x+2) \\ =(3x-2)(2x^2-x+2)=2\left(3x-2\right)\left(2x^2-x+2\right) \\ \frac{2\left(3x-2\right)\left(2x^2-x+2\right)}{3x-2} \\ \text{ Cancel the common factor:} \\ -(3x-2) \\ 4x^2-2x+4 \end{gathered}$

The sum of the measures

marin [14]

Answer:

x = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the three angles is 180°.

So, x + x + 5 + 2x -1 = 180

4x + 4 = 180

4x = 176

x = 44°

Answer:

$x= 23.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite length over the adjacent*. In formulas, $tan 54° = x/17$ Solving for x, using a calculator for the tangent, $x= 23.4$
