We call two numbers a and b, notice a>b
<span>The sum of two numbers is 110: a+b=110
</span><span>The larger number is 2 less than 7 times the smaller: a=7b-2
And by replacing a=7b-2 we have an equation: 7b-2+b=110
or 8b=110+2, and 8b=112, that means b=112:8= 14
We have two numbers: 14 and 96</span>

Option B) The height, in inches, of a typical apple tree
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> the number of years, after the tree was planted
y ---> the height in inches, of a typical golden delicious apple tree
we have
Remember that
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
In this problem
The y-intercept is the height of the tree when it was planted (x=0)
Answer:
x=-4 x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 + 2x - 8
Set equal to zero
0 = x^2 + 2x - 8
Factor
What two numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2
4 * -2 = -8
4+-2 = 2
0=(x+4) ( x-2)
Using the zero product property
x+4 =0 x-2 =0
x=-4 x=2
