Using substitution

-8x-4(2x-5)=-20
-8x-8x+20=-20
-16x+20=-20
-16x=-40
x=2.5

Plug x into one of the original equations.
y=2(2.5)-5
y=5-5
y=0

Final answer: 1 solution (2.5, 0)

A number is 5 more than 3 times another number. The sum of the two numbers is 33. As an equation, this is written x + 3x + 5 = 3
Cloud [144]

Answer:

x=7, so the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

x=3x+5=33

Let x=3:

(3)+3(3)+5=3+9+5=17, not 33, so x is not 3

Let x=5:

(5)+3(5)+5=5+15+5=25, not 33, so x is not 5

Let x=7:

(7)+3(7)+5=7+21+5=33, so x=7

Let x=9:

(9)+3(9)+5=9+27+5=41, not 33, so x is not 9

Therefore x=7. Because x represents the smaller number, and the larger number is 3 times the smaller number, the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 3(7)=21.

Simplify 4/(√5+ √2) - 3/(√5- √2)​
MakcuM [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4}{ \sqrt{5} +   \sqrt{2}}  -  \frac{3}{ \sqrt{5} -  \sqrt{2}  }  =  \\  =  \frac{4( \sqrt{5}  -  \sqrt{2} ) - 3( \sqrt{5} +  \sqrt{2} ) }{( \sqrt{5}  +  \sqrt{2}  )\times ( \sqrt{5}  -  \sqrt{2} )}  =  \\  =  \frac{4 \sqrt{5} - 4 \sqrt{2}  - 3 \sqrt{5} - 3 \sqrt{2}   }{5 -  \sqrt{10}  +  \sqrt{10} - 2 }  =  \\  =  \frac{ \sqrt{5}  - 7 \sqrt{2} }{3}
