Answer:

12 and 10   and

-12 and - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Larger number = x

Smaller number = x - 2

Equation

x*(x - 2) = 120

Solution

Remove the brackets

x^2 - 2x = 120    

Subtract 120 from both sides

x^2 - 2x - 120 = 0  Factor

(x - 12)(x + 10) = 0

x - 12 = 0

x - 12 + 12 = 12

the other number is 2 less than this one or x = 10

=================

x + 10 = 0

x = - 10

The number that is 2 less than this one is

x = -10 -2

x = -12

Which equation can be used to solve for c?
AlladinOne [14]
From the given triangle in the photo, the lengths of the sides are 3m and a, the hypotenuse is c. One angle, opposite of 3m is given to be 50 degrees C. The right equation that would solve c is,
                                         sin (50 degrees C) = 3m / c
Thus, the answer is the first choice.
