Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5 = 
{Midpoint theorem}
2(x+ 5) = x² - x
2x + 10 = x² - x
x² - x - 2x - 10 = 0
x² - 3x - 10 = 0
x² - 5x + 2x - (5*2) = 0
x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5) = 0
(x -5)(x + 2) = 0
{x + 2 is ignored because measurement could not be in negative value}
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Let x = the smaller numberLet 3x + 15 = the larger numberx + 3x + 15 = 634x = 48x = 123(12) + 15 = 51
Answer: 11
Explanation: You did everything right in terms of the steps you took. It looks like you accidentally wrote "1" instead of "-4" as the answer to "2(-2)".
