Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

"The sum of two numbers is 43." gives us the first equation.

x + y = 43

"One number is five less than three times the other number." gives us the second equation.

y = 3x - 5

Now we solve the system of two equations below.

x + y = 43

y = 3x - 5

Since the second equation is already solved for y, we will use the substitution method. We substitute 3x - 5 for y in the first equation.

x + y = 43

x + 3x - 5 = 43

4x - 5 = 43

4x = 48

x = 12

The first number is 12. Now we find the second number.

x + y = 43

12 + y = 43

y = 31

The larger number is 31.

Answer:

31 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve your system by substitution.

x=3y−5;43=x+y

Step: Solve x=3y−5 for x:

Step: Substitute 3y−5for x in 43=x+y:

43=x+y

43=3y−5+y

43=4y−5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

43+−4y=4y−5+−4y (Add -4y to both sides)

−4y+43=−5

−4y+43+−43=−5+−43 (Add -43 to both sides)

−4y=−48

(Divide both sides by -4)

y=12

Step: Substitute12foryinx=3y−5:

x=3y−5

x=(3)(12)−5

x=31(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=31 and y=12

31 is greater than 12

Is 43/10 an irrational number or rational number ?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of rational is that it can be written as a fraction where the top and bottom are integers (the bottom integer not 0).

--

43/10 is written in that form since 43 and 10 are both integers.

ivanzaharov [21]

\Large \mathbb{SOLUTION:}

\begin{array}{l} \displaystyle \int \dfrac{4 - 3x^2}{(3x^2 + 4)^2} dx \\ \\ = \displaystyle \int \dfrac{4 - 3x^2}{x^2\left(3x + \dfrac{4}{x}\right)^2} dx \\ \\ = \displaystyle \int \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{x^2} - 3}{\left(3x + \dfrac{4}{x}\right)^2} dx \\ \\ \text{Let }u = 3x + \dfrac{4}{x} \implies du = \left(3 - \dfrac{4}{x^2}\right)\ dx \\ \\ \text{So the integral becomes}  \\ \\ = \displaystyle -\int \dfrac{du}{u^2} \\ \\ = -\dfrac{u^{-2 + 1}}{-2 + 1} + C \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{u} + C \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{3x + \dfrac{4}{x}} + C \\ \\ = \boxed{\dfrac{x}{3x^2 + 4} + C}\end{array}
