Answer:
Jumper, y = 172
Shirt, x = - 105
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Shirt = x
Jumper = y
5x + 4y = 163 - - (1)
3x + 2y = 29 - - - (2)
Multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by 5
15x + 12y = 489 - - - (3)
15x + 10y = 145 - - - (4)
Subtract :
12y - 10y = 489 - 145
2y = 344
y = 344 / 2
y = 172
Put y = 172 in (3)
15x + 12(172) = 489
15x + 2064 = 489
15x = 489 - 2064
15x = - 1575
x = - 105
The values ;
Jumper, y = 172
Shirt, x = - 105
We weren't supposed to obtain a negative value, kindly check if the parameters given are correct.
Your question is not clearly stated. Do you mean the difference between 10 * 10 * x, and 7 * 7 * 7 *x ? Then the number is x = 119/243. That's about 0.48971... in decimal form.
It's confusing when you say the "difference of a number". Differences are BETWEEN two numbers. See what I mean?

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The discrimant of this equation is 144.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to move all the variables to one side to make the equation/expression into 0 by substracting 8x² to both sides :
9x² + 14x + 13 = 8x²
9x² + 14x + 13 - 8x² = 8x² - 8x²
x² + 14x + 13 = 0
It is given that the formula of discriminant is, D = b² - 4ac where a&b&c represent the number of the equation, ax²+bx+c = 0 :
x² + 14x + 13 = 0
D = b² - 4ac
= 14² - 4(1)(13)
= 196 - 52
= 144
