Answer:

103 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A + B = 171

A - B = 35

Add the two expressions to eliminate B.

B + (-B) = B - B = 0

We have

2A = 206

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate A

2A/2 = 206/2

A = 103

Now substitute 103 for A in either expression to get B

Using the first expression , we have

A + B = 171

103 + B = 171

Subtract 103 from both sides

103 - 103 + B = 171 - 103

B = 68

The numbers are 103 and 68

Check

103 + 68 = 171

103 - 68 = 35

Answer:

103 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

since the difference has to be 35 subtract 35 from 171 (equals 136) then divide it by 2, you get 68 which is your first number, then add 35 back and get 103 for the second number, I hope this helped

Use the fuction h(x)=5x-2 and t(x) =4x+6 to complete the fuction operations listed below
Pavlova-9 [17]
Part A
(h + t)(x)
(5x - 2 + 4x + 6)(x)   First plug in the numbers
(9x + 4)(x)   Add h(x) and t(x)
(9x² + 4x)   Then multiply it by x
x(9x + 4)   Lastly, simplify x out (I'm including both answers because I don't know whether your questions will ask for either one)
Unsimplified Answer: 9x² + 4x      Simplified Answer: x(9x + 4)

Part B
(h x t)(x)
(5x - 2)(4x + 6)(x)    First step is to of cource, plug in the numbers
(20x² + 30x -8x -12)(x)   Next we multiply h(x) and t(x)
(20x² + 22x -12)(x)     Simplify it a little
(20x³ + 22x² - 12x)    After that, multiply the whole thing by x
(2x)(10x² + 11x - 6)     Simplify 2x out of the equation
(2x)(5x - 2)(2x + 3)    Lastly, simplify the rest
Unsimplified Answer: (20x³ + 22x² -12x)    Simplified Answer: (2x)(5x - 2)(2x + 3)

Part C
h[t(x)]
(5x - 2) [(4x + 6)(x)]    Plug in the numbers
(5x - 2)(4x² + 6x)       Multiply t(x) and x
(20x³ + 30x² - 8x² -12x)    Multiply that by h(x)
(20x³ + 22x² -12x)     Simplify a little... Wait! That looks like the answer to Part B! Perhaps we did something wrong, let's go back and alter the third step
(5x -2)(2x)(2x + 3)     This time, simplify before multiplying oh wait, that's part B's simplified answer, isn't it.
Well, there's a good explanation for this: Part B and Part C are essentially the same equations, just in slightly different orders!
So, it will have the same answers and Part B! (At least, in theory, I'd recommend checking this for yourself too!)
Unsimplified Answer: (20x³ + 22x² - 12x)   Simplified Answer: (2x)(5x-2)(2x+3)

Well, that's a wrap, Parts A, B, and, C with work and explanations; if you find that I made a mistake or did something wrong let me know. I hope this helped, and good luck!

A square plastic tarp has a perimeter of 68 meters. How long is each side of the tarp?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

17 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the addition of all sides. Since the perimeter is 68 meters and a square has 4 sides, we can divide 68 by 4 and we get 17.

What is the solution -10 = 2a - 4
Simora [160]

Add 4 to both sides

-10 + 4 = 2a

Simplify -10 + 4 to -6

-6 = 2a

Divide both sides by 2

-6/2 = a

Simplify 6/2 to 3

-3 = a

Switch sides

<u>a = -3</u>
