Answer:
11 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
A good way to solve these is to work backwards.
X= larger and Y= smaller
if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total
38 - 5 = 33
divide by 3
33/3 = 11
11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16
8^2+x + 2^ 3x = 32^ 1/2
2^3(2+x) + 2^3x = 2^5^1/2
All two's will cancel out
3(2+x) + 3x = 5^1/2
6+3x + 3x = 5^1/2
6 +6x = 2.23
6x = 2.23 - 6
6x = -3.77
x = -3.77÷ 6
x = -0.63
