Answer:
<em>The answer is 13</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Two positive and consecutive old numbers are x and x - 2.
=> x(x - 2) = 143
=> x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0
=> x^2 + 11x - 13x - 143 = 0
=> x(x + 11) - 13(x + 11) = 0
=> (x + 11)(x - 13) = 0
=> x = -11 (invalid)
or x = 13 (valid), the remaining number is 13 - 2 = 11
=> The two numbers are 11 and 13, and the greater number is 13.
Hope this helps!

If a set of exam scores forms a symmetrical distribution, then the student mean scores is the median and the mode too.
<h3>What is a Symmetrical distribution?</h3>
A symmetrical distribution by definition is the situation which occurs when the values of variables appear at regular frequencies and is characterized by the mean, median, and mode all occuring at the same point in most cases.
Graphically, symmetrical distributions may appear as a normal distribution (i.e., bell curve).

The length is 10
The width is 4
4 + 6 = 10
4 x 10 = 40
When y varies inversely as x ⇒ y*x=k
y=27 and x=40 ⇒27*40=1080=k
y*10=1080
y=1080:10
y=108
