Let assume that the the two numbers are X and Y and that X is the large number.
According to the question,
X + Y = 53 .................. Equation 1
then, X = 11 + Y........... Equation 2
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1.
[11 + Y] + Y = 53
11 + 2Y = 53
2Y = 53 - 11 = 42
2Y = 42
Y = 42 / 2 = 21,
Therefore, Y = 21 [Small number].
According to equation 1,
X +Y = 53
X + 21 = 53
X = 53 - 21 = 32.
Therefore, X = 32 [Big number].
So firstly, what two terms have a product of 8x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be x and 8x. Replace 9x with x + 8x: 
Next, factor x^2 + x and 8x + 8 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as 
Now using zero product property, solve for x:
<u>In short, the solutions are {-1,-8}, or C.</u>
Set up the equation in long division form with x-5 outside of the box. Then you want to input the values as you go. Let me know if you want me to clarify my steps.
Answer:
C) 5
Step-by-step explanation:
As the horizontal lines are parallel, the ratio of the segments will be constant.
3/(3 + 4) = (x - 1)/14
3(14) = 7(x - 1)
42 = 7x - 7
7x = 35
x = 5
Answer: 41 (i'm not really sure. but i was trying to help so please don't be mad
Step-by-step explanation:
8 * 4 = 32 3 * 3 = 9 and 5 * 2 = 10
2 * 2 = 4 9 - 10 = -1
32 + 4 = 36 -1 + 7 = 6 + 1 = 7
36 - 2 = 34
34 + 7 = 41
