10+7=17 and 10-7=3

Answer:

10 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let unknown numbers be x and y

x + y = 10.... (1)

x - y = 3....... (2)

This leads to simultaneous linear equations

We shall solve the equation by substitution method

From equation (1), we shall make x subject of formula to form a new equation (3)

x + y = 17

x = 17 - y ..... (3)

Now we substitute the value of x = 17 - y into equation (2)

x - y = 3

17 - y - y = 3

17 - 2y = 3

-2y = 3 - 17

-2y = -14

y = 7

Now we substitute this new value of y = 7 into equation (1)

x + y = 17..... (1)

x + 7 = 17

x = 17 - 7

x = 10

Therefore the two numbers are 7 and 10

7 + 10 = 17

10 - 7 = 3

x + 7

Expand quadratic equation (2x-3)(x+4) = 0​
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(2x + -3)(x + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-3 + 2x)(x + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(-3 + 2x)(-4 + x) = 0

Multiply (-3 + 2x) * (-4 + x)

(-3(-4 + x) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 0

((-4 * -3 + x * -3) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 0

((12 + -3x) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = 0

(12 + -3x + (-4 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 0

(12 + -3x + (-8x + 2x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -3x + -8x = -11x

(12 + -11x + 2x2) = 0

Solving

12 + -11x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.

(3 + -2x)(4 + -1x) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(3 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

3 + -2x = 0

Solving

3 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + -2x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -3

-2x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3

-2x = -3

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 1.5

Simplifying

x = 1.5

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(4 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

4 + -1x = 0

Solving

4 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + -1x = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + -4

-1x = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4

-1x = -4

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4

Solution

x = {1.5, 4}
