I was wondering why my previous post was deleted (I attached the same picture below).
I spent a long time drawing and labeling a diagram as well as writing out a detailed formulaic explanation.
<span>x+y=30.....(1) and x-y=2......(2) so(1)+(2)......x+y+x-y=30+2 so 2x=32...x=16 now apply x=16 in (1) so we get......16+y=30 so .......y=14</span>
The answer is -31 over 12.
The answer would be 35 99/100 because you cannot simplify 99/100
40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):
Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):
40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
8x 8x
5 + x = 0 produces the root x = - 5.
Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.
Be certain to check these results. substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false? Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false?
