Answer:

One number, let's call it x, is 6 more than twice the other number, let's say this number is y.

x= 2y+6

x+y=21

We're left with a system of equations.

If we substitute the first equation in the second we find the value of y.

(2y+6)+y=21

3y+6=21

3y=15

<u><em>y=5</em></u>

Now that we have found the value of y, we can take that value and substitute it in the second equation (since it's easier) to find the value of x.

x+ (5)=21

<u><em>x=16</em></u>

<u><em>Now to check if our answers are correct, we plug in both values into any equation and see if they equate.</em></u>

x+y=21

(16)+(5)=21

21=21

Our solution is correct!

Can someone explain how to do #3?
dsp73

\displaysyle (\sqrt 2)^{3}=(2^{\frac{1}{2}})^3=2^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 3}=2^{\frac{3}{2}}=\sqrt {2^3}=\sqrt 8

√8 is between 2 and 3, because 2²=4<8, but 3²=9>8. Also, our value is closer to 3 than to 2, so it is more than 2.5 and we have C and D options left.

Among these two numbers we find the one which is closer to √8.

C. 27=√729 ⇒ 2.7=√7.29

D. 28=√784 ⇒ <u>2.8=√7.84</u>

Hence our answer is D) 2.8
