Answer:

12 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

set up an equation:

since one number is 4 less than the other, let x represent it. for the other number, let x+4 represent it since it's 4 greater than x. set the equation equal to 28 because the sum of the two numbers is 28.

x+x+4=28

now, we solve the equation:

x+x+4=28

2x+4=28

2x=24

x=12.

Since x equals 12, to find the other number, which would be 4 greater than x, we would add:

12+4=16

So, the two numbers are 12 and 16.

What is the answer to -3x + 10 = 5x + -8
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x = \frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we are trying to find the value of x;

Subtract 5x from both sides;

-8x + 10 = -8

Then, Subtract 10 from both sides;

-8x = -18

Divide both sides by -8;

x = \frac{9}{4}

If the pictured triangles are congruent what reason can be given
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

SAS Postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are congruent if anyone of the following postulates is true:

SAS - Two corresponding sides and the included angles are congruent to each other.

SSS - All the three corresponding sides are congruent.

ASA - Two corresponding angles and the included sides are congruent to each other.

AAS - Two corresponding consecutive angles and sides adjacent to either of the angles are congruent.

HL - If the corresponding hypotenuses and one corresponding legs are congruent to each other.

Here, in the figure, two corresponding sides and the included angle between them are congruent to each other.

So, the two triangles are congruent by SAS postulate.

What are the roots of the function f(x) = x2 + 2x – 1? a. x = ± √ _ 2 b. x = − 1 ± √ _ 2 c. x = 2 ± √ _ 2 d. x = 1 ± √ _ 2
Masteriza [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Root of the function, where y = 0

f(x) = x² + 2x - 1

0 = x² + 2x - 1

x² + 2x - 1 = 0

x² + 2x = 1

x² + 2x + 1 = 1 + 1

(x + 1)² = 2

x + 1 = ±√2

x = -1 ± √2

Roots → x = -1 ± √2
