Let x be the greater number.

x+(x-2)=44

2x-2=44

2x=46

x=23.

Therefore, the greater of the two is 23.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations -4x+y= 8 and X-5y=17?

iren [92.7K]

C is the correct answer.
Plug the x & y values for x and y in the equation and you'll get true statements. For example:
-4(-3) -4 = 8
12-4=8

And in the second equation:
-3 -5(-4) = 17
-3 +20 = 17

What are all the potential rational roots of f(x)=15x^11 -6x^8 +x^3-4x+3

Lady_Fox [76]

The theorem of rational solutions states that, given a polynomial with integer coefficients, every potenial rational solution is written as $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p$ divides the constant term, and $q$ divides the leading term.

So, our choices for $p$ are $\pm 1, \pm 3$ , while our choices for $q$ are $\pm 1, \pm 3, \pm 5, \pm 15$ .

Combine all possible numerator and denominator to get all the potenial rational solutions:

$\pm\frac{1}{1},\pm\frac{1}{3},\pm\frac{1}{5},\pm\frac{1}{15}$

$\pm\frac{3}{1},\pm\frac{3}{3},\pm\frac{3}{5},\pm\frac{3}{15}$
