Let us say that the numbers are x and y. The given clues are:

1. x – y = 16         (so x is the larger number)

2. y / x = 5 / 7

 

rewriting eqtn 2 in terms of y:

y = (5/7) x

 

combining 1 and 2:

x – (5/7) x = 16

(2/7) x = 16

x = 56

 

y = (5/7) x = 40

 

So the two numbers are 56 and 40.

il63 [147K]

Answer: d\leq150

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information given in the problem:

- The distance to the nearest exit door is no more than 150 feet.

-  d represents the distance to the nearest exit door, in feet.

2. Therefore, keeping the information above on mind, you know that the  distance to the nearest exit door (d) must be less than or equal to 150 feet, then, you can express this as following:

d\leq150

11. Let f(x) = 2x² + 7x + 5
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(x+1)(2x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x² + 7x + 5

Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 2x²+ax+bx+5. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.

a+b=7

ab=2×5=10

Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 10.

1,10

2,5

Calculate the sum for each pair.

1+10=11

2+5=7

The solution is the pair that gives sum 7.

a=2

b=5

2x²+7x+5 as (2x²+2x)+(5x+5).

(2x²+2x)+(5x+5)

Factor out 2x in the first and 5 in the second group.

2x(x+1)+5(x+1)

Factor out common term x+1 by using distributive property.

(x+1)(2x+5)
