The product of two numbers is 240. the first number is 8 less than the second number. which equation can be used to find x, the lesser number?
x(x – 8) = 240
x(x 8) = 240
x2 – 8 = 240
x2 8 = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number (lesser number) , then the second number must be x+8.

Given : The product of two numbers is 240. The first number is 8 less than the second number.

First number x Second number = 240

According to this statement , we have

Or we can write is as

Hence, the equation can be used to find x, the lesser number :

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3
