Answer:

The value of y is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the system of equation:

x + y = 24

5y = x

First, plug in 5y for x in the first equation:

x + y = 24

(5y) + y = 24

Simplify. Combine like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same amount of the same variable:

(5y + y) = 24

(6y) = 24

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 6 from both sides of the equation:

(6y)/6 = (24)/6

y = 24/6 = 4

Now, plug in 4 for y in one of the given equations in the system of equation:

x + y = 24

x + (4) = 24

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 4 from both sides of the answer:

x + 4 = 24

x + 4 (-4) = 24 (-4)

x = 24 - 4

x = 20

x = 20 , y = 4

Check. Use the other equation. Plug in 4 for y, and 20 for x:

5y = x

5(4) = (20)

5 * 4 = 20

20 = 20 (True)

The value of y is 4.

If(√14/√7-2)-(√14/√7+2)=a√7+b√2 find the values of a and b where a and b are rational numbers

seraphim [82]

Answer:

a = 4/3 and b = 0

============================

<h2>Given expression:</h2>

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} }{\sqrt{7}-2} -\dfrac{\sqrt{14} }{\sqrt{7}+2}$

<h2>Simplify it in steps:</h2>

Bring both fractions into common denominator:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}+2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} - \dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}-2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)}$

Simplify:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} ((\sqrt{7}+2) - (\sqrt{7}-2))}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{\sqrt{14} (\sqrt{7}+2 - \sqrt{7}+2)}{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{(\sqrt{7}-2)(\sqrt{7}+2)} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{(\sqrt{7})^2-2^2} =$

$\dfrac{4\sqrt{14} }{7-4} =$

$\dfrac{4}{3} \sqrt{14} }$

Compare the result with given expression to get:

a = 4/3 and b = 0

If I am reading this right, it looks like the 10, 3, 2, 1 are Adjustments and the Adjusted TB should equal the difference. Make sure you know how to add and subtract the debit and credit adjustments correctly.
