Answer:
The numbers are 23 and 7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set up the equations
Let x = the greater number
and y = the smaller number. Then
(1) x - y = 16
4y = 4 times the smaller number and
4y - 5 = 5 less than 4 times the smaller number. Then
(2) x = 4y - 5
You have a system of two equations:
2. Solve the equations
The larger number is 23; the smaller number is 7.
3. Check
OK.
If a and (b - c^9/a) are both positive or both negatives, the quadratic will be either, always positive or negative.they are not both then, quadratic will be be positive for some values and negative for others.
Image D is correct.
