Answer:

36, 180

Step-by-step explanation:

x = y/5, so y = 5x

y - x = 144

5x - x = 144

4x = 144

x = 144/4 = 36

y = 5x = 5*36 = 180

The two numbers are 36 and 180

The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0. An easy way to think about this is that the absolute value turns a negative number positive, and has no effect on positive numbers. In this case, we are taking the absolute value of a negative number. This means we should simply make the number positive. Therefore, the answer is $\frac{1}{3}$

Charlotte is solving the following equation for X (x+3)^2-10=2 her first steps are given below (x+3)^2=12 x+3= + square root 12

The values of the x in the given equation are x = 6.46 and x = -0.46

<h3>Solving an equation </h3>

From the question, we are to solve the equation for x

The given equation is

(x+3)² -10 = 2

First, add 10 to both sides of the equation

(x+3)² -10 +10 = 2 +10

(x+3)² = 12

Now, take the square root of both sides to get

x + 3 = ±√12

∴ x = 3 ± √12

x = 3+√12 OR 3-√12

x = 3 + 3.46 OR 3 - 3.46

x = 6.46 OR -0.46

Hence, the values of the x in the given equation are x = 6.46 and x = -0.46
