The product of two numbers is 713. The first number is 9 more than the second number. Which equation can be used to find x, the greater number?

x(x − 9) = 713
x(x + 9) = 713
x2 − 9 = 713
x2 + 9 = 713

Answer:Let x = first number and y = second number

Step-by-step explanation: 1 Simply any expressions

2(x-8) =24 2x-16 = 24 2. Rearrange so the variable term is on one side of the equal sign and all other terms on the other side 2x-16 =24 +16 +16

2x = 40
