Question 406668: I have two questions, the 1st one is:
#1. The product of two numbers is 10 less than 16 times the smaller. if twice the smaller is 5 more than the larger number, find the two numbers.
I'm having trouble with the first one. The second problem is this:
#2. The area of a rectangular field is 162 sq. m. and its length is twice its width. Find the dimensions of the field.
In number 2 I did this:
Let x = width
2x = length
(2x)(x) = 162
> 2x^2 = 162
> 2x^2/2 = 162/2
> x^2 = 81
> x = 9
I just wanna ask if my answer is correct or do I have to continue and it like this:
> 2x
> 2(9)
> = 18
Looking forward for your response.
