-4x + y = 6
-5x - y = 21

add both of them
-9x = 27
x = -3

(-4*-3) + y = 6
-12 + y = 6
y = 18

What number am I?

Answer:

The numbers less that 40 which have sum of digits 8 are 17, 26, 35.

Only one of those that has a factor of 7. And that is 35.

So you are 35.

Second way:

The numbers less that 40 which have a factor of 7 are 7,14,21,28,35

Only one of those which has sum of digits as 8. And that is 35.

So you are 35.

This extreme value problem has a solution with both a maximum value and a minimum value. use lagrange multipliers to find the ex

noname [10]

$L(x,y,z,\lambda)=10x+10y+2z+\lambda(5x^2+5y^2+2z^2-42)$

$L_x=10+10\lambda x=0\implies1+\lambda x=0$

$L_y=10+10\lambda y=0\implies1+\lambda y=0$

$L_z=2+4\lambda z=0\implies1+2\lambda z=0$

$L_\lambda=5x^2+5y^2+2z^2-42=0$

$\begin{cases}L_x=0\\L_y=0\\L_z=0\end{cases}\implies1+\lambda x=1+\lambda y=1+2\lambda z=0\implies x=y=2z$

$5x^2+5y^2+2z^2=5(2z)^2+5(2z)^2+2z^2=42z^2=42\implies z^2=1$

$z^2=1\implies z=\pm1\implies x=y=\pm2$

There are two critical points, at which we have

$f\left(2,2,1\right)=42\text{ (a maximum value)}$

$f\left(-2,-2,-1\right)=-42\text{ (a minimum value)}$
