Answer:

  • The smaller number  ⇒ y = 36
  • The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the larger number be = x
  • Let the smaller number be = y

As the larger number is twelve more  than a smaller, so

x = y + 12

As the sum of larger and smaller numbers is 84, so

x + y = 84

now substituting x = y + 12 in th equation x + y = 84

x + y = 84

(y + 12) + y = 84

2y + 12 = 84

subtract 12 from both sides

2y + 12 - 12 = 84 - 12

2y = 72

divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = 72/2

y = 36

Thus,

  • The smaller number  ⇒ y = 36
  • The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

Determine the solution x^2 - 3x -28 ≥ 0
IgorC [24]

x^2 - 3x -28 ≥ 0

factor

(x-7) (x+4) ≥ 0

x=7  x=-4

we have three regions where the answers can lie

x<-4  between -4 and 7  and x>7

pick a point and see if it works

x=-10

(-10-7) (-10+4) ≥ 0

negative * negative  is greater than 0 so this is a solution   x< -4

x=0

(0-7) (+4) ≥ 0

negative * positive  is less than 0 so this is  not a solution  

x=10

(10-7) (10+4) ≥ 0

positive * positive is greater than 0 so this is a solution   x>7

We have two regions that work

x<-4 and x>7

Simplify the expression shown below: (a^3b^12c^2)^2(a^5c^2)^3(b^5c^4)^0
NemiM [27]
= a^21b^24c^10 
use the product rules for each set of () then multiply them together. when multiplying variables with exponents you just add them together like for a^3 * a^5 = a^8.     (a^3 b^12 c^2)^2 = (a^6 b^24 c^4)

I'm sorry but maybe you wrote this wrong. If Wendy has 1 pint of milk and only needs 1 pint of milk, then she has exactly the amount she needs.
