Let x be the number mentioned
Two numbers: x, x-16
38 = x + x-16
54 = 2x
X = 27
The numbers are 27, 11
A.
To solve, you need to get the variable by itself.
Order of operations:
Square root both sides.
(x-5)= plus/minus root 3, as 3 is not a perfect square.
Now you need to add 5 to both sides to get it to disappear on the side with the x.
x=root3 +or - 5, which can be rearranged so that 5 is the first term.
Answer:
10.8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find (f/g)(5), find f(5) and (g5) then divide the values.
f(5) = 7 + 4(5) = 27
g(5) = 1/2 (5) = 2.5
27/2.5 = 10.8
The absolute value is how far away a number is from the number line, so it is always positive. If Carlos finds the opposite of the absolute value, that means he found the negative version. So Jason's final value will be greater.
