Let us say that the numbers are x and y. The given clues
are:
1. x – y = 16 (so
x is the larger number)
2. y / x = 5 / 7
rewriting eqtn 2 in terms of y:
y = (5/7) x
combining 1 and 2:
x – (5/7) x = 16
(2/7) x = 16
x = 56
y = (5/7) x = 40
So the two numbers are 56 and 40.
Answer: x < -125
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x / (-4) < 500 / (-4)
x < -125
3 and 2 should be the only roots
The answer is 3 for this question.
