We need to use the variables m and n to represent both numbers.
Their sum must equal -15. Therefore, we can write the next equation:
m + n = -15
If one number is five less than the other, we need to choose one variable and then we can write it in terms of the other variable. Then:
n = m-5
To find the value for each number, we can replace the n equation on the first equation:
m + n = -15
m + (m-5)= -15
Then:
m + m - 5 = -15
2m -5 = -15
Solve the equation for m:
Add both sides 5 units:
2m - 5 +5 = -15+5
2m = -10
Divide both sides by 2:
2m/2 = -10/2
m = -5
Finally, replace the m value on the first equation:
m + n = -15
-5 + n = -15
Then, solve the equation for n:
Add both sides by 5:
-5+5 + n = -15 +5
n = -10
Hence, both numbers are m=-5 and n= -10.
The equations separated by a comma are m + n = -15,n = m-5.
The numbers separated by a comma are -5,-10.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Her former rent is $ x
Twice the former rent: 2*x = 2x
$300 less than 2x: 2x - 300
2x - 300 = 550
Add 300 to both sides
2x - 300 + 300 = 550 + 300
2x = 850
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 850/2
x = 425
Her former rent = $425
It would be C because if you plug all the x-values in to the equation, it would get the same y values, which would satisfy the equation.
Let x be the width of the cardboard (which means the length of the cardboard is x+88), then the dimensions of the box are:
Length = [(x + 88) - 2(33)]
Width = x - 2(33)
Heighth = 33
Volume = length · width · heighth
144,144 = [(x + 88) - 2(33)] · [x - 2(33)] · 33
144,144 = (x+22)(x-66)(33)
4368 = (x+22)(x-66)
4368 = x² - 44x - 1452
0 = x² - 44x - 5820
use the quadratic formula to calculate that x = 101
Answer: cardboard width = 101, cardboard length = 189
Her sister invited 22 guests. What you have to do to solve this problem is subtract 41-19. We have to do this because Rayliegh invited 19 more people than her sister, but invited a total of 41 people herself. So, to figure out how many people her sister invited we have to know that Rayliegh invited 19 more people and we have to subtract that from the total number she invited to get how many people her sister invited: 22 guests. Can you make me brainliest?
