The larger number is (-7+14)/2 = 3.5.

The smaller number is (-7-14)/2 = -10.5.

_____

The two equations a+b=-7, a-b=14 can be solved to get these results. It is genrally convenient to solve them by adding one to the other, or subtracting one from the other.

Simplify: square root 27x12 over 300x8

alex41 [277]

Answer:

-------------

3x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets simplify what is inside the square root

300x8

---------------

27x12

3 * 100 x^8

------------------

3 *9 x^12

The 3's cancel and we know a^b/ a^c = a^(b-c)

100/9 x^ (8-12)

100/9 x^-4

sqrt( 100/9 x^-4)

Put the negative exponent in the denominator and make it positive

sqrt( 100 / (9x^4) )

We know that sqrt( a / b) = sqrt(a) / sqrt( b)

sqrt(100)

----------------

sqrt( 9x^4)

-------------

3x^2

Find two consecutive even numbers such that the difference of one-half the larger and two-fifths the smaller is equal to 38

expeople1 [14]

EXPLANATION

The consecutive even numbers are
$370 \: and \: 372$

EXPLANATION

Let
$x$
be the first even number then, the next even number will be,

$x + 2$

The difference of one-half the larger one and two-fifth the smaller one is 38 gives the equation,

$\frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - \frac{2}{5} x = 38$

We multiply through with an LCM of 10 to get,

$10 \times \frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - 10 \times \frac{2}{5} x = 38 \times 10$

This simplifies to,

$5(x + 2) - 4x = 380$

We expand the brackets to get,

$5x + 10 - 4x = 380$

We group like terms to get,

$5x - 4x = 380 - 10$

This simplifies to
$x = 370$

Therefore the next even number is is
$372$
