Answer:
The numbers are 6 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = integer
The second is x-2
Product of x*(x-2) is 24
x(x-2) = 24
Distribute
x^2 -2x =24
Subtract 24 from each side
x^2 -2x -24 =24-24
x^2 -2x-24 =0
Factor
What two number multiply together to give 24 and add to -2
-6*4= -24
-6+4 = -2
(x-6) (x+4) =0
Using the zero product property
x-6 =0 x+4 = 0
x=6 x=-4
The question states the number is positive
x=6
The second number is x-2 = 4
The numbers are 6 and 4
<em>Total marbles:</em> 8 + 16 + 14 + 10 = 48
<em>Marbles that are not white:</em> 48 - 16 = 32
<em>Probability it will not be white:</em> 32/48 = 2/3
Answer:
Value of x = -1 and y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
BC = 3 (given)
BC = AD ( opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
∴ AD = 3
AD = x - y (given)
∴ 3 = x - y
3 + y = x -------- (1)
CD = 2 (given)
CD = AB (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
∴ AB = 2
AB = 2x - y (given)
∴ 2 = 2x - y ----------- (2)
Putting the value of x in (1) To (2)
2 = 2(3+y) - y
2 = 6 + 2y - y
2 = 6 + y
2 - 6 = y
-4 = y
Now, substitute the value of y in (1)
x = 3 + y
x = 3 + (-4)
x = 3 - 4
x = -1
Therefore, the value of x = -1 and y = -4.
<u>Cross-checking</u>
2x - y = 2
2*-1 - (-4) = 2
-2 -(-4) = 2
-2 + 4 = 2
2 = 2
LHS = RHS
x - y = 3
-1 -(-4) = 3
-1+4 = 3
3 = 3
LHS = RHS
Thus verified
