Answer: The numbers are 1 and 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = smaller number , y= larger number.
As per given,
...(i)
...(ii)
Put value of x from (i) in (ii)
Since numbers are positive , so y=3 is correct.
And x will be 1 [from (i)]
Hence, the numbers are 1 and 3.
Answer:
Incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation:
Add both sides by 9.
When we want to tell if the absolute equation has solutions or not, we have to simplify in this form first: or isolate the absolute sign.
If c ≥ 0, the equation has solutions.
If c < 0, the equation does not have solutions.
Therefore, it does not always matter if the constant on right side is in negative because if there is a number on the left side then there is a chance that the equation has solutions.
From |3x+8| = 4 is equivalent |3x+8|-9=-5 and the right side is 4 which is positive.
Hence, the equation does have a solution!
