Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Greater number: 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x equal to the smaller number.
Let y be equal to the greater number.
<u>1) Translate the information into equations</u>
"One is 7 more than twice the other"
⇒ 
"The sum of the numbers is 43"
⇒ 
<u>2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number</u>

Plug the equation
into the above equation

Subtract both sides by 7

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.
<u>3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number</u>

Plug in x as 12

Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y

Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
x^3-8
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3+2x^2+4x + -2x^2-4x-8
+2x^2 and -2x^2 cancel out
+4x and -4x cancel out
Like terms must have the same variables and those variables must have the same powers.
and
are like terms, because they both have
and they both have
.
and
are NOT like terms, because the powers no longer match.
In your example, do you have the same variables and do the variables have the same powers in both expressions?
U got it right.
