Answer:

The numbers are 14 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x. The second number we are told is 3 less than twice x. The second number will thus be;

2x - 3

The sum of the numbers is thus;

x + (2x - 3) = 3x - 3

But the sum of the numbers is said to be 39, therefore;

3x - 3 = 39

3x = 42

x = 14

The second number is thus;

2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

what is the value of the largest 2 digit whole number whose digits have a product of 6?---please explain!!
loris [4]
~Hello There!~

Product means they multiply to make 6
Think of numbers that multiply to make six:
1 x 6
6 x 1
3 x 2
2 x 3
The largest out of those is clearly 6 x 1 which makes 61

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
Have A Great Day ^_^

Use this equation:   Amount after years=Initial investment*(1+Interest rate/time compounded yearly)^number of years*times compounded yearly

So A=25,000(1+.095/1)^8*1
Simplify
A=25000(1.095)^8
Simplify
A=25000(2.07)
Solve
A=$51,671.73
