6 0

Answer: 14 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first statement: Let the first number be x and the second number be y , then x + 2y = 6.

From the second statement: 2x + y = 24

Combining the two equations , we have

x + 2y = 6 ......................... equation 1

2x + y = 24 ........................ equation 2

Solving simultaneously

x = 14 , y = -4

X^2 + x^2=6^2 what is x​
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

x = ±3 sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + x^2=6^2

Combine like terms

2x^2 = 6^2

Divide each side by 2

x^2 = * 6^2/2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) =± sqrt(  6^2/2)

Remember that sqrt(a/b) = ±sqrt(a ) /sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(6^2)/sqrt(2)

x = ±6 /sqrt(2)

We do not leave square roots in the denominator, so we multiply the top and bottom by sqrt(2)

x = ±6 /sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)/ sqrt(2)

x = ±6 *sqrt(2) /( sqrt(2)*sqrt(2))

x =  ±6 sqrt(2) /(2)

x = ±3 sqrt(2)
