The larger number is 30.

Set up your equation.

x + y = 25

The question tells us one number is 5 less than the other.

The equation now becomes
x -5 = 25

Add 5 to each side to isolate x.

x=30

Without solving the equation, determine the nature of the roots of x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0.
noname [10]

Answer:

two real, unequal  roots

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic equation.  The quadratic formula can be used to determine how many and what kind of roots may exist:  

Find the discriminant, which is defined as b^2 - 4ac, if ax^2 + bx + c = 0.  In this case, a = 1, b = -2 and c  = -8, so that the discriminant value is

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-8), or 4 + 32  =  36.

Because the discriminant is real and positive, we know for certain that we have two real, unequal  roots
