Answer:

The two numbers are 39 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find these numbers, set the first number equal to x. Then the second number can be described as x - 12. Using these two terms, you can add them together and set equal to 66.

x + x - 12 = 66

2x - 12 = 66

2x = 78

x = 39

Given this as the first number, put into the second equation to find the next.

x - 12

(39) - 12

27

X + 4 is prime x2 – 9 can be factored using the formula.
Anna71 [15]

We are given two binomials: x+4 , x^2-9.

x+4 can't be factored. Therefore,  it is a prime.

Let us work on x^2-9.

9 could be written as 3^2.

Therefore, x^2-9 = x^2 - 3^2.

Now, we can apply difference of the squares formula to factor it.

We know a^2 -b^2 = (a-b) (a+b).

Therefore,  x^2 - 3^2 can be factored as (x-3) (x+3).

So, x^2-9 is not a prime binomial because it can be factored as (x-3) (x+3).

What number is to 100 as 4 is to 78
vitfil [10]
Hello, 

4 is to 78 as x is to 100, we write it as a ratio:

\frac{4}{78}= \frac{x}{100}   \\  \\ x= \frac{100*4}{78}  \\  \\ \boxed{x= \frac{200}{39}=5.13}
