Answer:

smaller number - 7

greater number - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = smaller number

a + 1 = greater number

the following equation can be derived from the question

(5 x a) = 3 + 4(a + 1)

5a = 3 + 4a + 4

5a = 7 + 4a

5a - 4a = 7

a = 7 = smaller number

a + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8 = greater number

$x^2+5x-9\\\\a=1;\ b=5;\ c=-9\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-9)=25+36=61 > 0\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{61}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x^2+5x-9=\left(x-\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)\left(x-\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)$

Can someone help me with this please :)))

Answer : 58 square units.

Tip : break the shape down into shapes you can easily find the area of.

I found the area of the two squares on the bottom
They are identical and are both 2 units tall and two units long giving, giving an area of 4, and since there are two of them you can multiply the are by two giving you 8
Next found the area of the remaining shape which is just a rectangle that excludes the two bottom squares which is 10 units long and 5 units tall multiplying to 50
50+8=58

What you gotta take from this problem:

What Joe got during break = $2t+2$

What his sister gave him = $3t$

What he has total = 10 tadpoles.

Now to assemble this equation:

$2t+2+3t=10$

Now combine like terms to get $5t+2=10$

Subtract 2 on each side of the equation to get $5t=8$

Now you would divide 5 on each side and get $t=1.6$ , however since you can't have a .6 of a tadpole, you would have to round it up to 2.
