alexandr402 [8]

For this case we have the following variables, let:

x: The greater integer

y: The minor integer

We have to:

x + y = 2 (1)\\y-x = -14 (2)

Thus, we have a system of two equations with two unknowns. To solve, we follow the steps below:

Step 1:

We add both equations:

x + y + y-x = 2-14\\2y = -12

y = \frac {-12} {2}\\y = -6

Thus, the smallest integer is y = -6

Step 2:

We substitute "y" in any of the equations and clear x:

x + y = 2\\x + (- 6) = 2\\x-6 = 2\\x = 2 + 6\\x = 8

Thus, the largest integer is x = 8

So:

8 + (- 6) = 8-6 = 2\\-6-8 = -14

Anwer:

Integer minor, y = -6

Integer greater,x = 8

Answer:

number 2

Step-by-step explanation:

from the original equation you can multiple the m to the x's first.

y-y1=mx-mx1

if you moved mx1 to left the sign will change from - to +

so you y- y1+mx1= mx

then to get x

(y- you + mx1 )/ m = x

hope it helps

Which choice answer is it?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x = 5/2 + sqrt(41)/2 or x = 5/2 - sqrt(41)/2 thus 2 is the Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 5 x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:

x^2 - 5 x = 4

Add 25/4 to both sides:

x^2 - 5 x + 25/4 = 41/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 5/2)^2 = 41/4

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 5/2 = sqrt(41)/2 or x - 5/2 = -sqrt(41)/2

Add 5/2 to both sides:

x = 5/2 + sqrt(41)/2 or x - 5/2 = -sqrt(41)/2

Add 5/2 to both sides:

Answer: x = 5/2 + sqrt(41)/2 or x = 5/2 - sqrt(41)/2
