<span>Positive + Positive = Positive: 5 + 4 = 9
Negative + Negative = Negative: (- 7) + (- 2) = - 9Sum of a negative and a positive number: Use the sign of the larger number and subtract(- 7) + 4 = -3
6 + (-9) = - 3
(- 3) + 7 = 4
5 + ( -3) = 2
The sign will be that of the larger number. Remember adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive one!</span>

How do you substitute x+y=2 3x+2y=5
Monica [59]
Here's how you solve this.  So, x+y=2, right?  Let's isolate x.  x+y-y=2-y.  x=2-y.  NOW, if x=2-y, in 3x+2y=5, we can REPLACE x with 2-y and use it to solve for y!  3x+2y=5.  3(2-y)+2y=5.  (3*2)+(3*-y)+2y=5.  6+(-3y)+2y=5.  6+(-y)=5.  6+(-y)-6=5-6.  -y=-1.  -y/-1=-1/-1.  y=1.

So, if y=1, we can substitute that back into either equation--but let's go with the easier one, x+y=2.  x+1=2.  x+1-1=2-1.  x=1.  1+1=2, so that works; let's check the other equation.  3(1)+2(1)=5.  3+2=5.  5=5.  That's correct!

Answer: x=1, y=1

Find the two square roots of 144.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The square root function

sqrt(144) or √144 produces a single positive value, 12.  

However if you have an equation

x² = 144, then you have two possible values for x, 12 and -12.  

Two ways to look at it.  

x² - 144 = 0

Difference of two squares

(x+12)(x-12) = 0

x = -12, 12

x² = 144

x = ±√144

x = ±12

x = -12, 12
