Let the numbers be x and y

x= y-2.... (1)
and, 2y = 16 + 4x.... (2)

putting the value of x from (1) in (2),

2y = 16 + 4x
=> 2y = 16 + 4(y-2)
=> 2y = 16 + 4y - 8
=> 2y = 8 + 4y
=> 2y - 4y = 8
=> -2y = 8
=> y =-8/2
=> y= -4

and x = -4-2 = -6

hence , in short the numbers are -2 and -4

Find the coefficient of the x^3 in the expansion of (2x-9)^5

il63 [147K]

Use the binomial theorem:

$\displaystyle (2x-9)^5 = \sum_{k=0}^5 \binom5k (2x)^{5-k}(-9)^k = \sum_{k=0}^5 \frac{5!}{k!(5-k)!} 2^5 \left(-\frac92\right)^k x^{5-k}$

The <em>x</em> ³ terms occurs for 5 - <em>k</em> = 3, or <em>k</em> = 2, and its coefficient would be

$\dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} 2^5 \left(-\dfrac92\right)^2 = \boxed{6480}$
