Answer:

the larger number is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice there are two unknown numbers. Let's address the smaller one as x and the larger one as y. now we can write two equations from translating the phrases given into algebraic expressions:

"the sum of two numbers is 80" can be written as:

x+y=80

Now the second phrase:

"The ratio of those two numbers is 3/5"

Notice here that in our ratio we need to use our small number (x) in the numerator of the quotient, and the larger number (y) in the denominator to make it in agreement with the small and larger numbers of the ratio \frac{3}{5}, and solve for x:

\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{5} \\x= \frac{3}{5}y

Replace the value of x we just obtained in the first equation we wrote, so we obtain one equation with only one unknown hat we should be able to solve:

x+y=80\\\frac{3}{5} y+y=80\\\frac{3}{5} y+\frac{5}{5} y=80\\\frac{8}{5}y=80 \\8y=80*5\\8y=400\\y=\frac{400}{8} \\y=50

Therefore the larger number (y) equals 50.

What is the standard form of (6x^2-8x-7)+(8x^2-76x)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:  14x^2 - 84x - 7

====================================================

Explanation:

The like terms 6x^2 and 8x^2 combine to 14x^2

The like terms -8x and -76x combine to -84x

Nothing pairs with the -7, so its stays as is.

Standard form is where we list the terms in decreasing exponent order. We can think of -84x as -84x^1 and the -7 as -7x^0. So 14x^2 - 84x - 7 would be the same as 14x^2 - 84x^1 - 7x^0. The exponents count down: 2,1,0.

The final answer is a trinomial since it has three terms. It is also a quadratic because the degree (highest exponent) is 2.
