Answer:
small number is 14
Larger number is 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = one number
Let y = the second number
x + y = 45
x = y - 17
Put y - 17 into the top equation for x
y - 17 + y = 45
2y - 17 = 45 Add 17 to both sides
2y = 45 + 17
2y = 62 Divide by 2
y = 62/2
y = 31
B. the graph of the function is decreasing.
Think about a really long, flat 3-dimensional object. This has a certain volume, and a certain (big) surface area because of its length. Now, make the 3-dimensional object fat and maintain the volume. Notice how you have minimized surface area but maintained volume. This is how I would go about solving it.
