Let the two numbers are x and y

Let larger number = x

and smaller number = y

it means

x-y = 0.77

Now it says larger number is increased 5 times

So it now becomes 5x

So second equation becomes

5x -y =77

Now we have to solve these two equations

x-y = 0.77 and 5x-y = 77

multiply first equation by -1 and then add both equations

-x+y = -0.77

Now on adding we get

-x+5x +y -y = 77-0.77

4x = 76.23

Divide both sides by 4

x=19.0575

We get the larger number , now subtract 0.77 from this , we will get the smaller number

y=19.0575-0.77=18.2875

y=18.2875


Hence the larger number = 19.0575

Smaller number = 18.2875

(8x-5) (2x) (3x-10). what is the largest angle??
kompoz [17]
8x-5 would be the largest angle because as you approach a larger and larger x value, 8x-5 will skyrocket past the other two. Also when you plug in a low value like 1, 8x-5=3, which is still higher than the other two. The only exception is if you plug in a negative x value which is impossible.
8x-5
