Question

Explain how you can write an equation for the given situation in standard form. One number is 5 more than a second number. The product of the two numbers is 891.

A) Let x be the smaller number, and then x+5 is the larger number. This means that x(x+5)=891, which can be rewritten as x^2+5x-891=0

B) Let x be the smaller number, and then x+5 is the larger number. This means that x+(x+5)=891, which can be rewritten as 2x-886=0

C) Let x be the smaller number, and then x+5 is the larger number. This means that x(x+5)=891, which can be rewritten as x^2+5x+891=0

D) Let x be the smaller number, and then x+5 is the larger number, This means that x+5/x=891, which can be rewritten as 890x-5=0

Answer 1

you figure it out

Explanation:

Number one is going to be N1

Number two is going to be N2

Product of the two numbers combined is going to be 891

N1= N2 +5

N1 + N2 = 891

(N2+5) + N2 = 891

N2 +5 +N2 =891

2N2 + 5 =891

im gonna let you figure the rest out
