Answer:

<u>The two numbers are 23 and 56</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two numbers are A and B.

We are told:

1)  A+B=79

2) 3A+5B=283

Let's take the first expression and solve for A:

A+B=79

A=79-B

Now use this value of A in the second expression:

3A+5B=283

3(79-B)+5B=283

237-3B+5B=283

2B = 46

B = 23

Since B=23, we know from 1) that

A+B=79

A+23=79

A = 56

<u>CHECK:</u>

Does A+B=79?  

        56+23 = 79?  <u>YES</u>

Does 3A+5B=283?

3(56)+5(23)=283

168  + 115 = 283?  <u>YES</u>

The area of a room is 600 square feet. The length is (x + 5) feet and the width is (x + 4) feet. Find the dimensions of the room
tangare [24]
I'm going to assume that the room is a rectangle.

The area of a rectangle is A = lw, where l=length of the rectangle and w=width of the rectangle. 

You're given that the length, l = (x+5)ft and the width, w = (x+4)ft. You're also told that the area, A = 600 sq. ft. Plug these values into the equation for the area of a rectangle and FOIL to multiply the two factors:
A = lw\\&#10;600 = (x+5)(x+4)\\&#10;600 =  x^{2} + 9x + 20&#10;

Now subtract 600 from both sides to get a quadratic equation that's equal to zero. That way you can factor the quadratic to find the roots/solutions of your equation. One of the solutions is the value of x that you would use to find the dimensions of the room:
600 = x^{2} + 9x + 20\\&#10;x^{2} + 9x - 580 = 0\\&#10;(x + 29)(x - 20) = 0\\&#10;x + 29 = 0, \:\: x - 20 = 0\\&#10;x = -29, x = 20

Now you know that x could be -29 or 20. For dimensions, the value of x must give you a positive value for length and width. That means x can only be 20. Plugging x=20 into your equations for the length and width, you get:
Length = x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 ft.
Width = x + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24 ft.

The dimensions of your room are 25ft (length) by 24ft (width).

How do i work out 6x+6=0
VMariaS [17]

Answer: X= -1

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation you want to solve for "x"

You subtract 6-6=0 leaving "x" by itself. So the equation will look like this: 6x= -6

After this you want to divide by 6 to one side and to the other equaling "x" as -1
