Lana71 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

small number = -3

large number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose two numbers are x and y

smaller number = x

larger number = y

Given that,

The difference of two numbers is 15

<h2>Equation 1</h2><h3>y - x  = 15</h3>

Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger.

<h2>Equation 2</h2><h3>5x = 9 - 2y</h3>

Solve them

-x = 15 - y

x = y -15

put value of x in equation 2

5(y - 15) = 9 - 2y

-75 + 5y = 9 - 2y

-75 - 9 = -2y - 5y

-84 =  -7y

y = 84/7

y = 12

x = 12 - 15

x = -3

What is the solution to the equation 2 (x-3) ^2 =13 help help ASAP !
olganol [36]

Answer:

3+sqrt(13/2)

3-sqrt(13/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (x-3) ^2 =13

Divide each side by 2

2/2 (x-3) ^2 =13/2

(x-3) ^2 =13/2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-3) ^2) =±sqrt(13/2)

x-3 = ±sqrt(13/2)

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 3±sqrt(13/2)

x = 3±sqrt(13/2)

Enter the correct answer in the box. What is this expression in simplified form? <br> 3\sqrt{88}
Ugo [173]

Answer: 12\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

3\sqrt{88}

88 can be rewritten as 8 x 10 and 8 can be rewritten as 2^2*2 making a 2 come out of the root.

3\sqrt{2^2*2*10}\\ 3*2\sqrt{2*10}\\6\sqrt{2*10}

10 can be rewritten as 2 x 5.

6\sqrt{2*2*5}

2*2 can also be rewritten as 2^2 making a 2 come out of the root.

6\sqrt{2^2*5}\\ 6*2\sqrt{5}\\ 12\sqrt{5}

We can't keep simplifying the root.
