We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.
We can make two equations from the given:
x = 18 + y
("One number is 18 more than another number")
x + y = 36
("The sum of the numbers is 36")
If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:
x + y = 36
(18 + y) + y = 36
18 + 2y = 36
2y = 18
y = 9
Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:
x = 18 + y
x = 18 + 9
x = 27
<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

Let me know if you'd like me to explain anything I did here.

Answer:
+8, -4, +2
Step-by-step explanation:
The pattern rule is every other number is negative and it alternates. It would be plus, minus, plus, minus, and keep that going. The second part to the pattern rule is the next number is half of the previous. So 32 was half of 64, 16 was half of 32 so now 8 is half of 16, 4 is half of 8, and 2 is half of 4. Keep the + - + - + - pattern too.
First simplify the expression into polynomial form,
Now factor into,
Which means the solutions are,
and then two complex solutions because determinant of the third factor 
,
Hope this helps :)
