Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Larger number: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)

x + 3x -2 = 46

   Add 3x + x:

4x - 2 = 46

   Add 2 to both sides:

4x = 46 + 2

   Add 46 + 2:

4x = 48

    Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12 is the smaller number

Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

Add the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

x^3 - 6x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomials can be added together by adding like terms together as shown below:

=> Add together, the coefficient of all terms that have the power of 3.

(2x^3) + (x^3) + (-3x^3)

2x^3 + x^3 - 3x^3

3x^3 - 3x^3

x^3

=> (-4x^2) + (6x^2) + (2x^2)

-4x^2 + 8x^2

4x^2

=> (6x) + (-8x) + (-4x)

6x - 8x - 4x

-6x

=> (-3) + (12) +(-7)

-3 + 12 - 7

2

The answer = x^3 - 6x + 2
