Hey there!!

Looking at the question, we know that there are two numbers.

  • Let's take the first number or the larger number as 'x'
  • Let's take the second number or the smaller number as 'y'.

As stated:

  1. The sum of two numbers, x and y is 24
  2. The difference of the greater and smaller number is 18.

Taking equations:

... x+y=24 --- (1)

... x-y=18 --- (2)

Now, let's add both the equations.

... 2x=42

... x=42/2

...x=21

<em>Hence, the larger number is 21. </em>

Based off this, we will know that the smaller number is 3

<em>Hence, the smaller number is 3</em>

<em>Hope my answer helps!</em>

The greater number is 21, this is correct since 21 + 3 is 24, and 21 - 3 is 18. Thus, it fulfills all necessary requirements

B.
{x}^{2} + 10x + 25 - 2x - 10 - 24 = \\ x {}^{2} + 8x - 9 = \\ (x - 1)(x + 9)

C.
{x}^{2} + 4x +4 - 8x - 16 + 15 = \\ x {}^{2} - 4x + 3 = \\ (x - 3)(x - 1)
D.
2( {4x}^{2} - 4x + 1) - 18x + 9 + 4 = \\ 8x {}^{2} - 8x + 2 - 18x + 13 = \\ 8x {}^{2} - 26x + 15

Just help please need to pass
Anni [7]

Answer: \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the common denominator

The easiest way to do this is by multiplying the two given denominators, which are 2 and 5.

2 × 5 = 10

So, our common denominator is 10. Then, multiply the numerators of the two fractions by 2 and 5. Here's why:

\frac{3*2}{5*2} = \frac{6}{10}         We multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to make sure our new fraction stays equivalent to the original fraction.

Do the same thing for the other one:

\frac{1*5}{2*5} = \frac{5}{10}

Finally, subtract the two fractions to find the difference between the two times:

\frac{6}{10} -\frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{10}

The reason we used the common denominator is because we can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominator.
