Rational because you get a whole number
The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39 ⇒x=39/2=19.5
x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
2y=9 ⇒y=9/2=4.5
The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5
To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15
Answer:
27 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Two walls have same area
Area of first wall(square) = 18*18 = 324
Area of second wall = 12 * x = 324
324/12 = 27
27 feet

Answer:
4) 6x
5) 2x +3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can work both these problems at once by finding an applicable rule.

where O(h²) is the series of terms involving h² and higher powers. When divided by h, each term has h as a multiplier, so the series sums to zero when h approaches zero. Of course, if n < 2, there are no O(h²) terms in the expansion, so that can be ignored.
This can be referred to as the <em>power rule</em>.
Note that for the quadratic f(x) = ax^2 +bx +c, the limit of the sum is the sum of the limits, so this applies to the terms individually:
lim[h→0](f(x+h)-f(x))/h = 2ax +b

4. The gradient of 3x^2 is 3(2)x^(2-1) = 6x.
5. The gradient of x^2 +3x +1 is 2x +3.

If you need to "show work" for these problems individually, use the appropriate values for 'a' and 'n' in the above derivation of the power rule.
