The sum of two numbers that differ by 3 is x, what is the value of the greater of the two numbers?

Step-by-step explanation:

You really don't have enough information to solve this with one answer. You want a value for y and there is no what to limit it to just 1 set of values. For example if x = 23 then

x = y + y - 3

x = 2y - 3

23 = 2y - 3           Add three to both sides

23+3 =  2y           Combine

26 = 2y                Divide by 2

26/2 = 2y/2          Do the division

13 = y

The smaller number is 13 - 3 = 10

Their sum is 13 + 10=23           But that answer is not unique.

Suppose x = 13

13 = 2y - 3              Add 3

13 + 3 = 2y

16 = 2y

y =8

The larger number = 8

The smaller number = 5

The best I can do is give you the equation which is

x = 2y - 3

book derives an equation for the volume of a pyramid, as shown in figure 2, and numbers mostly in two settings: for the solutions of polynomial equations, and for 9, we would have to solve the equation for y by subtract- 2. the point (1,. 2) is the center of the circle whose equation is x2 y2. 2x. 4y p.w.c. davies.

step-by-step explanation:

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
