Let x represent the larger number. 1/(x -28) +4/x = 1/6 Multiplying by the product of denominators, we have 6x +24(x -28) = x(x -28) In standard form, this is x^2 -58x +672 = 0 (x -42)(x -16) = 0
I agree with Noah's Method because following PEMDAS you have to do exponents first. 10^3 is 1000 and then you can add the 20. Jada's method is incorrect because you cannot add the two together.
