Answer:

Larger number(x)=20

Step-by-step explanation:

They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.

The smallest number=35-x.

The larger number= x.

3 times the larger number=3x

4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)

Now, input it into an equation and solve:

3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.

3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.

7x/7=140/7 Divide.

x=20

Since x= the larger number, x=20.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\sqrt{126x^{13}}=3x^6\sqrt{14x}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Domain:\ x\geq0\\\\\sqrt{126x^{13}}=\sqrt{9\cdot14\cdot x^{12+1}}\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=\sqrt{9\cdot14\cdot x^{12}\cdot x^1}=\sqrt{9\cdot14\cdot x^{6\cdot2}\cdot x}\\\\\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\ \text{and}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt{14}\cdot\sqrt{(x^6)^2}\cdot\sqrt{x}\\\\\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a\ \text{for}\ a\geq0\\\\=3\cdot\sqrt{14}\cdot x^6\cdot\sqrt{x}=3x^6\sqrt{14x}$
