X and x+ 2 equal 188
add all the like terms to get 2x+2=188
subtract 2 from each side
2x=186
divide by 2
x=93
so the numbers are 93 and 95
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
BASE + 3x = 22.85.....................equation 1
BASE + 10x = 40..........................equation 2
BASE = 40 - 10x
NOW SUBSTITUTE (40-10x) FOR BASE IN THE FIRST EQUATION
40 - 10x + 3x = 22.85
-7x = 22.85 - 40
-7x = -17.15
x = -17.15/-7
x = $2.45 IS THE PRICE FOR EACH POUND.
BASE + 10 x 2.45=40
BASE + 24.50=40
BASE = 40-24.50
BASE = 15.50 IS THE BASE PRICE FOR THE DELIVERY.
PROOF
15.50+3*2.45=22.85
15.50+7.35=22.85
22.85=22.85
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
From the pythagoras theorem
(x+2)^2 = x(5+x)
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 5x + x^2
x^2 + 4x + 4 - 5x - x^2 = 0
-x + 4 = 0
4 = x
