Hello,
Let's be a the greatest number, b the smallest
Method 1:
a+b=37 ==>b=37-a
a*b=36==>a(37-a)=36
==> a²-37a+36=0
==>a²-36a-a+36=0
==>a(a-36)-(a-36)=0
==>(a-36)(a-1)=0
(a=36 and b=37-36=1) or (a=1 and b=37-1=36) but a>b ==>exclude
==>a-b=35
Method 2:
a*b=36
a+b=37 ==>(a+b)²=37²
(a+b)²-4ab=37²-4*36
==>a²+2ab+b²-4ab=1225
==>(a-b)²=35²
==>a-b=35 or a-b=-35 (to exclude since a>b)
Answer:
Hey mate here's your answer ⤵️
Option C
<h2>Hope it was helpfulll</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
15.4% of the nuts are pecans.
0.154x = 77
x = 500
There are 500 pounds of mixed nuts in the batch.
1/2(4+X)+2=16
2+(0.5 x X) + 2 = 16
4 + (0.5 x X) = 16
0.5 x X = 12
X = 24
idk if u understand my working out - message me if u dont
