Answer: Transitive property of congruence
Let's call the two numbers 
and 
.
Given these variables, we can say: 
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:
To solve, we can simply substitute 
in for in the second equation and solve.
- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition
- Cross multiplication (
)
- Subtract
from both sides of the equation
- Factor left side of the equation
Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since is not positive in this case, 
is not a solution.
Thus, 
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation: think of it this way. When you adding a positive to a negative, you simply taking the negative away from the positive. So in this case, you are subtracting 2 from 8 to get six. Or, its the difference between the positve and the negative!! Hope this helps!
As for a specific equation, I could not say. However, I can tell you how to find x!
The first thing to remember is that a straight line has a 180 degree angle.
You see on the bottom side that we have a 146 degree angle. Now look at the top side. Look closely, and you will see that the two sides are actually identical!
Don't see it? Look at the line on top between x and 56, and imagine it is not there. You see that we actually have the same 146 degree angle, just flipped right side up!
However, this angle does not say 146, but makes an extra line between them with x and 56. This means that x + 56 equals 146!
So we can find x by subtracting 56, from 146, which is... 90!
Answer:In mathematics, a polynomial is an expression consisting of variables (also called indeterminates) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables. An example of a polynomial of a single indeterminate, x, is x2 − 4x + 7.
