Answer:

A. 12 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger positive number and y be the smaller positive number.

Since, the difference between these number is 4,

⇒ x - y = 4,

⇒ x = 4 + y ------(1)

Also, the product of these number is 96,

⇒ xy = 96

From equation (1),

(4+y)y = 96

4y+y^2=96

y^2+4y-96=0

y^2+12y-8y-96=0

y(y+12)-8(y+12)=0

(y-8)(y+12)=0

By zero product property,

y-8=0 or y+12=0

y = 8 or y = - 12( not possible )

Again from equation (1),

x = 4 + 8 = 12,

Hence, the numbers are 12 and 8,

Option A is correct.

It'd be A.. You first would find which of them have a difference of 4. Which, is A, C, and D. Then, you'd multiply to see which of those three equal 96. 12*8=96

The rectangles below are similar in shape. How wide is the smaller rectangle?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=28\ ft}

Step-by-step explanation:

If two rectangles are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion.

Therefore we have the equation:

\dfrac{x}{42}=\dfrac{36}{54}

cross multiply

54x=(42)(36)\\\\54x=1512

divide both sides by 54

\dfrac{54x}{54}=\dfrac{15212}{54}\\\\x=28

Solve 9x−y=45 for y.
Taya2010 [7]

So to solve for y, we need to get y alone on one side of the equation. So we are going to subtract 9x from both sides of the equation to get:

-y=-9x+45

And since y is negative, we are going to divide both sides by -1 in order to make the y positive:

y=9x-45
