First bring all the x's to one side.
then subtract them.
then divide 24 by 3 to get the x alone and get your answer.
11x-8x=24
3x=24
x=8
In this problem, it is given that the greater number is represented by x. With this, the smaller number which is 9 less than the greater number may be represented by x - 9. The product of the two numbers is 713 and may be expressed as
(x)(x -9) = 713
The equation above is the answer to the problem.
Answer:
n = - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the term in n by subtracting 4 from both sides
= 6 ( multiply both sides by - 2 )
n = 6 × - 2 = - 12
