Answer:
<em>The answer is 13</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Two positive and consecutive old numbers are x and x - 2.
=> x(x - 2) = 143
=> x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0
=> x^2 + 11x - 13x - 143 = 0
=> x(x + 11) - 13(x + 11) = 0
=> (x + 11)(x - 13) = 0
=> x = -11 (invalid)
or x = 13 (valid), the remaining number is 13 - 2 = 11
=> The two numbers are 11 and 13, and the greater number is 13.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
20 ft by 60 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
"What should the dimensions of the garden be to maximize this area?"
If y is the length of the garden, parallel to the stream, and x is the width of the garden, then the amount of fencing is:
120 = 3x + y
And the area is:
A = xy
Use substitution:
A = x (120 − 3x)
A = -3x² + 120x
This is a downward facing parabola. The maximum is at the vertex, which we can find using x = -b/(2a).
x = -120 / (2 · -3)
x = 20
When x = 20, y = 60. So the garden should be 20 ft by 60 ft.

16 servings
because there are 4 cups in a quart, and two quarts is 8 cups.. if 5 cups of milk makes 10 servings there is half a cup in each serving.. so 8/.5 is 16
