Answer:
2x − 9 and x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + 3x − 54
Factor using the AC method.
2 × -54 = -108
Factors of -108 that add up to 3 are +12 and -9.
Divide by 2 and reduce: 12/2 = 6/1, -9/2 = -9/2.
Therefore, the factors are x + 6 and 2x − 9.
Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
