The numbers are 15 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let one number be x. Then the other number = 2x - 5. Sum = 25

x + 2x - 5 = 25

3x = 30

⇒ x = 10

⇒ 2x - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15

Describe the graph that would be used to solve the equation-x^2 + 4 = x+2
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The values of x are x = -2 and x= 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation -x²+4 = x+2 can be written in the form of two functions as

y = -x²+4 which is a function representing parabola and

y = x+2 which is a straight line.

Now we will solve the given equation to find their points of intersection on graph. Their points of intersections will be the answer.

-x²+4 = x+2

-x²+4-x = x+2-x

-x²-x+4 = 2

-x²-x+4-2 = 2-2

-x²-x+2 = 0

Or x²+x-2=0

Now we will factorize the equation.

x²+2x-x-2=0

x(x+2)-1(x+2) = 0

(x+2)(x-1) = 0

x+2 = 0 ⇒x = -2

x-1 = 0 ⇒x = 1

For x = 1, y will be 3

and for x = -2, y will be 0

Now we can see the graph for the given coordinates (-2,0) and (1,3).

Stells [14]
This depends on the number of players or hands dealt. If its one, it would be 17 (17.3 repeating to be exact),if its more than 2, thne just do 52/x and then divide that number by 3.
