Answer:

Answer: 3 1/2 and -10 1/2 are the two numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two unknown numbers.

x+y=-7 [Given]

x-y=14 [Given]

x-y=14 [Given]

x=y+14 [Add y to both sides]

x+y=-7 [Given]

(y+14)+y=-7 [Subtitution]

2y+14=-7 [Combine like terms]

2y=-21 [Subtract 14 from both sides]

y=-21/2 [Divide both sides by 2]

y=-10 1/2 [Division]

x-y=14 [Given]

x=y+14 [Add y to both sides]

x=-10 1/2 + 14 [Substitution]

x= 3 1/2 [Addition]

Check:

x+y=-7 [Given]

3 1/2 + -10 1/2?=-7 [Substition]

-7=-7 [Addition]

QED

x-y=14 [Given]

3 1/2 - -10 1/2?=14 [Substitution]

3 1/2 + 10 1/2?=14 [Change the sign of the subtrahend and add]

14=14 [Addition]

QED

Answer: 3 1/2 and -10 1/2 are the two numbers.

The length of a rectangle is 12 units longer than the width. The perimeter is 7 times the width. Find the length and the width o
katen-ka-za [31]

Log explanation below; answer is at bottom.

If the length, l, is 12 units longer than the width, w, then w = l - 12. If the perimeter, p,

p = 2l +2w,

is 7 x w, then

w = p/7

When two things are set equal to the same variable, they are equal to each other, so,

l - 12 = p/7

Now you need to get rid of the p so you are only working with one variable. To do this you plug in whatever p is equal to for p, so,

l - 12 = (2l + 2w)/7 now to get rid of the w do the same thing we did with p just for w. So,

l - 12 = (2l + 2(l - 12))/7

To solve this you want to multiply both sides by 7 first to get rid of the fraction.

7l - 84 = 2l + 2(l - 12)

Next you want to distribute the 2 over the l and the 12.

7l - 84 = 2l + 2l - 24

Next you want to combine like terms on each side.

7l - 84 = 4l - 24

Next add 84 and subtract 4l from sides to isolate the variable.

3l = 60

Now divide each side by 11 to get your answer.

l = 20.

To find the width,

w = l - 12  

Just plug in and solve.

w = 20 - 12

w = 8

So your length and width are 20 and 8.

l = 20

w = 8

How to solve x+3y=3 and 2x-3y=-12
Sever21 [200]
Get x on one side then you can use substitution
So, change x+3y=3 to x= -3y+3
Then plug in x to other equation to find y
2(-3y +3)-3y=-12
-6y + 6 -3y = -12
-9y = -18
Divide both sides by negative nine to find y
y = 2
Then plug in to original equation to find x
x + 3(2) = 3
x + 6 = 3
x = -3
So, y = 2 and x = -3
