Answer:

One number is 17 and the other is 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be m and n.  Let m = (1/5)n.  Note that m+n = 18.

Substituting (1/5)n for m in the 2nd equation, we get (1/5)n + (5/5)n = 18.  Multiplying all three terms by 5 to remove fractions, we get n + 5 = 90, so that n = 85.  m is (1/5) of 85, or m = 17.

Suppose A and B represent two different school populations where A > B and A and B must be greater than 0. Which of the follo
Virty [35]
<span>A+B)^2 is the largest.  It is A^2+2AB+B^2, which is clearly greater than the last two options.  To compare (A+B)^2 and 2(A+B), we remove one A+B so that we're just comparing A+B and 2.  As A+B must be at least 3 (as both must be positive integers, and one must be greater than the other, leading to a minimum value of A=2, B=1), A+B is greater than 2, and as a result, (A+B)^2 is always the largest.</span>
