He sum of two numbers is 46 and the difference is 2 . What are the numbers?large number is
the small number is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a + b = 46
a-b = 2

solve one of the equations for a...
a + b = 46
a = b + 2

solve for "b" using substitution...
(b + 2) + b = 46
2b + 2 = 46
2b = 44
b = 22

solve for "a" with substitution...
a + (22) = 46
a = 24

Smaller Number: 22
Bigger Number: 24

Answer 2

Answer: Let us condense your question in the form of system of equations,

x + y = 46
x - y = 2

Now, x = 46 - y

Thus,

46-y - y = 2

46 - 2y = 2

-2y = -44

Thus, y = 22.

x + y = 46

x + 22 = 46

Thus, x = 24.

Thus, the greater number is 24 and smaller number is 22.

I've been on Brainly long enough to know that there's no way
for you to give more points later for the same answer, and it's
dishonest to promise to do something that you can't do.

Here's the answer to your question:
I'm happy with the basic 5 points.

41 is the only prime number on that list.
It's not divisible by any number except 1 and itself.

16, 24, and 64 are all composite numbers.
2, 4, and 8 are factors of all three, and 24 and 64 also have
other additional factors.

41. nothing, besides one can be multiplied by 41

Joey is buying plants for his garden. He wants to have at least twice as many flowering plants as nonflowering plants and a minimum of 36 plants in his garden. Flowering plants sell for $8, and nonflowering plants sell for $5. Joey wants to purchase a combination of plants that minimizes cost. Let x represent the number of flowering plants and y represent the number of nonflowering plants. What are the vertices of the feasible region for this problem?
(0, 0), (0, 36), (24, 12)
(0, 36), (24, 12)
(0, 36), (24, 12), (36, 0)
(24, 12), (36, 0)

Answers

(24, 12) and (36, 0). The least amount of flowering plants occurs when x=2y, and the largest amount occurs when y=0. These two points satisfy both conditions and both sum to 36.

Answer: (24, 12), (36, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of flowering plants and y be the number of non- flowering plants.

According to the question, we need to minimize the cost of plants.

$Minimize:8x+5y$
