Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b

a-3b=5 ........equation (1)

There product is :

ab=68 ..........equation (2)

From equation (1)

a-3b=5

Make a the subject of the formula

a=5+3b. ........equation (3)

Substitute equation (3) into equation (2)

(5+3b)b=68

3(b^2)+3b-68=0

The product is -204b^2(17 and -12)

(b+17)(b-12)=0

b=-17 or b=12

So the number is 12

What is the value of the range of the function f(x)=2x^2-3x+8 for the domain value 3
Lelechka [254]
The domain is the same as the x value and the range is the same as the y value, so you just plug in the 3 to all the x's.

f(x) = 2 ({3})^{2}  - 3(3) + 8 \\ f(x) = 18 - 9 + 8 \\ f(x) = 17
the range of the function is 17
