So the larger number is x, and the smaller number is y
7y=x
3x=7+4y
(So plug in the 7y=x information into the second equation)
3(7y)=7+4y
21y=7+4y
17y=7
y=7/17
B.)greater than five but less than six
The answer is 3 + √5 and 3 - √5.
This is quadratic equation: x²
- 6x +
4 = 0
The general quadratic equation is ax² +
bx +
c = 0
Our equation can be rewritten: 1x² + (-6)x + 4 = 0
So, in our equation we have: a = 1, b = -6, c = 4
Now, x can be calculated using the formula:


From here:


The grpah of the quadratic function is shown below:
