It’s A took this test before
115>5.75x+28.75
5.75x+28.75<115
5.75x<115-28.75
5.75x<86.25
x<86.25/5.75
x<15 or (-∞,15)
Answer: x<15 or (-∞,15)
Let
x---------> the larger number
y---------> the smaller number
we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5
the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5
The answer would be
F(x)=x^2-8x
