Answer:

The larger number is 37.  This makes the smaller number 56 - 37, which is 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

 

The first step is to pick variables for the two numbers.  Lets call the smaller number x and the larger number y.

Since the sum of the two numbers is 56, this means that x + y = 56.  Let's call this equation 1 and save it for later.

 

The next sentence says:

The smaller number is 18 less than the larger number.  So, 18 less than the larger number would be y - 18.  So, the smaller number must be equal to this, so

 

x = y - 18

 

Replace the x in equation 1 with y - 18

 

x + y = 56

(y-18) + y = 56   (replace x with y-18)

2y - 18 = 56        (add the y's)

2y = 74               (add 18 to both sides)

y = 37                 (divide both sides by 2)

 

So, the larger number is 37.  This makes the smaller number 56 - 37, which is 19.

 

Hope this helps!!  :)

Solve the equation by the Quadratic Formula. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Write your solutions from least to greate
Marat540 [252]

I hope the choices for the numerators of the solutions are given.

I am showing the complete work to find the solutions of this equation , it will help you to find an answer of your question based on this solution.

The standard form of a quadratic equation is :

ax² + bx + c = 0

And the quadratic formula is:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

So, first step is to compare the given equation with the above equation to get the value of a, b and c.

So, a = 10, b = -19 and c = 6.

Next step is to plug in these values in the above formula. Therefore,

So,

So,

Hope this helps you!

Two triangles are similar if and only if all corresponding angles are equal (congruence), even if the corresponding sides are equal or not, therefore the answer is true because ΔJKL and ΔRST are similar and the statement above demands that "it must be", namely, this is a sufficient condition.
