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
80 = -1(80), -2(40), -4(20), -5(4),
Total answers include: -81, 79, -42, 16, -9, and 1.
None of them add up to 6!
Are you doing polynomial equations?
If so, you can solve it the hard way.
x^2 + 6x -80 = 0
(x^2 + 6x + 9) - 80 = 9
(x+3)^2 = 89
(x+3) = 9.43
x = 6.43
If you're not doing those then I'm afraid your question has no answer.
Hope that helps!
