Answer:

x = 10; y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's list the factors of 60 because the product of those numbers is 60.

  • ⇒ Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

<u>The following possibilities of x and y are possible using (x × y = 60):</u>

  • 60 and 1 ⇒ x = 60; y = 1 ⇒ 60 × 1 = 60
  • 30 and 2 ⇒ x = 30; y = 2 ⇒ 30 × 2 = 60
  • 20 and 3 ⇒ x = 20; y = 3 ⇒ 20 × 3 = 60
  • 15 and 4 ⇒ x = 15; y = 4 ⇒ 15 × 4 = 60
  • 12 and 5 ⇒ x = 12; y = 5 ⇒ 12 × 5 = 60
  • 10 and 6 ⇒ x = 10; y = 6 ⇒ 10 × 6 = 60

<u>Let's check each possibilities using the equation (x - y = 4):</u>

  • 60 and 1 ⇒ 60 - 1 = 59 ≠ 4
  • 30 and 2 ⇒ 30 - 2 = 28 ≠ 4
  • 20 and 3 ⇒ 20 - 3 = 17 ≠ 4
  • 15 and 4 ⇒ 15 - 4 = 11 ≠ 4
  • 12 and 5 ⇒ 12 - 5 = 7 ≠ 4
  • 10 and 6 ⇒ 10 - 6 = 4 = 4 (Correct)

Thus, the values of x and y are 10 and 6 <u>respectively.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Brock weighs 134 pounds, he will lose 3 pounds a day until he is 126 pounds

D will represent the number of days he will work out.

134 - 3d < 126

134 - 3(3) < 126

Find the value of x, y, and z in the rhombus below.
34kurt

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rhombus, the opposite angles are equal:

74=5y+9

5y=65

y=13

For a rhombus, the adjacent angles are supplementary:

74+(z-10)=180

z-10=106

z=116

74+(x+7)=180

x+7=106

x=99
