Answer:

The larger number is 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

let \: the \: two \: numbers \: be \: a \: and \: b \\ a + b = 110 \\ let \: a \: be \: the \: larger \: number \\ a = 7b - 2 \\ we \: can \: get \: the \: value \: of \: b \: by \: substituting \: the \: value \: above \: for \: a \: in \: eq \: 1 \\ 7b - 2 + b = 110 \\ 8b - 2 = 110 \\ 8b = 110 + 2 \\ 8b = 112 \\ b = \frac{112}{8}  \\b = 14\\ calculate \:the \: value \: of \: a \: using \: the \: equation \: above \\ a + b = 110 \\ a = 110 - 14 \\ a = 96 \\ hence \: the \: large \: number \: is \: 96

X2-8x+5 in the form of (x-a)2-b where a and b are integers
Illusion [34]
Y = x^2 - 8x + 5 Put brackets around the first two terms.
y = (x^2 - 8x ) + 5 Add (8/2)^2 on the inside of the brackets. Translated into mathese that means take 1/2 of the linear term (8x), drop the x and square the rest
.
(1/2 8)^2 = 4^2 = 16

y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) - 5  What you put inside the brackets, you must subtract outside the brackets.
y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) - 5 - 16 Combine like terms.
y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) - 21  Show what is inside the brackets as a square.
y = (x - 4)^2 - 21  <<<<<<<<< Answer.
