Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by working with the information we have and setting up some equations.

We know that one number is four times as large as another. So, let the smaller number be represented by the variable x and the bigger number be represented by 4x, since it is four times as large.

Now, we know that if the numbers are added together, then the result is six less than seven times the smaller number. This can also be represented by the equation 4x + x = 7x - 6.

Let's solve that equation like so:

4x + x = 7x - 6\\5x =  7x - 6\\-2x = -6\\x = 3

So, the smaller number must be 3 (remember that x represented the smaller number). To find the bigger number, all we need to do is multiply 3 by 4, which gives us 12. Therefore, the numbers are 12 and 3.

Two numbers have a average of 17. If one of the numbers is 11, what is the other number
Len [333]

Answer:

Other number is 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

We have given that average of x and y is 17.

i.e \frac{x+y}{2} = 17

if one of the number is 11,

Then , \frac{11+y}{2} = 17

or  (11 + y)/2 = 17

or 11 + y = 34

or y = 34 - 11

or y = 23

Solve the Quadratic Equation for x
dmitriy555 [2]
Answer:

x = +/- sqrt10 i + 1

Explanation:

Key: +/- is plus-minus

I used complete the square

x^2 - 2x + 11 = 0
x^2 - 2x = -11 -2/2 = (-1)^2 = 1
( x - 1 ) ^2 = -10
x - 1 = +/- sqrt10 i
x = +/- sqrt10 i + 1
