Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Larger number: 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number.
Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)
x + 3x -2 = 46
Add 3x + x:
4x - 2 = 46
Add 2 to both sides:
4x = 46 + 2
Add 46 + 2:
4x = 48
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12 is the smaller number
Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

Answer:
8
x
Step-by-step explanation:
pretend the 8 is a exponent
The answer to the question is: Yes.
Explanation: It can be solved by following exactly the same procedures
that solved the other two questions that you posted within the past 15 minutes.
Since I'm here already, here is the solution to this one:
6x² + 18x = 0
Divide each side of the equation by 6 :
x² + 3x = 0
Factor the left side:
x(x+ 3) = 0
This statement is true if x=0 or if x=3.
The solution to this one is even the same as the solution to the last one you posted.
You really ought to take a break, go back, review the solutions you've been given,
and try to solve a few on your own.
