Answer:

The larger number is 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\sqrt{32} ~~ \begin{cases} 32=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\\ \qquad 2^4\cdot 2\\ \qquad 2^{(2)(2)}\cdot 2\\ \qquad (2^2)^2\cdot 2 \end{cases}\implies \sqrt{(2^2)^2\cdot 2}\implies 2^2\sqrt{2}\implies 4\sqrt{2}$
