Is not factorable over real numbers, but if you want to use imaginary numbers then it would be (x+13i) (x-13i)
Answer with rational numbers: Not Factorable
Answer with imaginary numbers: (x-13i)(x+13i)
<h2>Steps:</h2>
(Let x = greater number and y = lesser number)
So this question is asking us for a system of equations. Using the info they provide, we can form these two equations:

So for this, we will be using the substitution method. Since we know that x = y + 7, substitute x with (y + 7) in the second equation as such:

From here we can solve for y. Firstly, distribute 3 so that it multiplies with y and 7:

Next, subtract 3y on both sides of the equation:

Lastly, subtract 5 on both sides of the equation:

Now that we know the value of y, we can substitute it into either equation to solve for x:

<h2>Answer:</h2>
<u>In short, 16 is the lesser number and 23 is the greater number.</u>
Answer:
you want to put your first pint at negative 3 on the Y axis. and then you want to go down 2 and right 1 to crest your slope.
