Answer:
x = 5 or -1
Step-by-step explanation:
let larger integer be: x
the smaller integer is: x-1
(x)(x-1)=5+3(x)
x^2-x-5-3x=0
x^2-4x-5=0
x = 5 or -1

Answer: Choice A</h3>
Explanation:
The square root undoes the squaring operation.
Think of a square that is 1 ft by 1 ft. Its area would be 1*1 = 1 sq ft.
Now imagine you told your friend "the area is 1 sq ft" and you didn't relay the side lengths. Your friend would use the square root to find the side length is 1 ft.
I'm not sure why your teacher is using plus minus notation when that is not correct. Saying
is not true. The result of a square root is simply one value only. If your teacher meant
, then it would be a true statement; however, there's no need to involve negative numbers for this problem.
15%=0.15
6000×0.15=900
He paid $900 (15% of $6000; 6000×0.15=900)
$6000-$900= $5100
and he still have to pay $5100
Multiply both sides by 2
5-2h=h
Then add 2h to both sides
5=3h
Divide both sides by 3
5/3=h
Final answer: h=5/3
