I believe the answer is C, x-3.
The larger number is 30.
Set up your equation.
x + y = 25
The question tells us one number is 5 less than the other.
The equation now becomes
x -5 = 25
Add 5 to each side to isolate x.
x=30
Answer:
B. (1,5) and (5.25, 3.94)
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is where the 2 equations intersect.
We need to solve the following system of equations:
y = -x^2 + 6x
4y = 21 - x
From the second equation:
x = 21 - 4y
Plug this into the first equation:
y = -(21 - 4y)^2 + 6(21 - 4y)
y = -(441 - 168y + 16y^2)+ 126 - 24y
y = -441 + 168y - 16y^2 + 126 - 24y
16y^2 + y - 168y + 24y + 441 - 126 = 0
16y^2 - 143y + 315 = 0
y = [-(-143) +/- sqrt ((-143)^2 - 4 * 16 * 315)]/ (2*16)
y = 5, 3.938
When y = 5:
x = 21 - 4(5) = 1
When y = 3.938
x = 21 - 4(3.938) = 5.25.
Answer: x=55 y=145
x=55
35+90=125
125-180=55
y=145
180-35=145
