Let's make two simultaneous equations and solve. Let's call the smaller number s, and the larger number l
l=3s-1\\l+s=63\\\text{now solve this, and find l and s}\\\text{modifying the second equation}\\l=63-s\\\text{plugging this into the first equation}\\63-s=3s-1\\\text{solve for s}\\64=4s\\s=16\\\text{plug this into the second equation from the original two}\\l+16=63\\\text{solve for l}\\l=47\\\text{gather the answers. The answers are: the larger number is 47, and the smaller number is 16.}

(x-6)² + (x + 5)² = 16
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

answer A   : (2 -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

the midipoint P,Q is the center A of this circle (because PQ is a diameter)

use : (x-6)²+(x+5)² = 16 you have : A(6 , -5) now  let Q(x,y) :

 (x+10)/2 = 6

    (y-5)/2 = - 5                          

x+10 = 12

y-5 = -10

so : x = 2 and y = - 5....answer A   : (2 -5)
