Answer:
smaller number is 10
larger number is 39
Step-by-step explanation:
a = small number
b = larger number
a + b = 49
2a = 3b - 97
substitute 49-a into second equation for b
2a = 3(49-a) - 97
2a = 147 - 3a - 97
5a = 50
a = 10
b = 39
(a + 1)(a² + 2a + 1)
= a(a² + 2a + 1) + 1(a² + 2a + 1)
= a³ + 2a² + a + a² + 2a + 1
= a³ + 3a² + 3a + 1
Answer: b
0.56
