x + y = 23

x = 2y-1

y + 2y-1 =23

3y-1 =23

3y =24

y = 24/3 =8

 y = 8

 x = 2*8-1 = 15

15+8 = 23

 the 2 numbers are 8 & 15

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Given,

x + y = 23

x = 23 - y

Also given,

y = 2x - 1

y= 2(23 -y) -1

y = 46 - 2y - 1

3y = 45

y = 15

x = 23 - y = 23 - 15 = 8

Hence, the two numbers are 15 and 8.

Super confused definitely need help on this
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

(x-5)(x+8)=x^2+3x-40

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

(x-5)(x+8)

To multiply, distribute the left to the terms on the right:

=(x-5)(x)+(x-5)(8)

Distribute:

=(x^2-5x)+(8x-40)

Combine like terms:

=(x^2)+(-5x+8x)+(-40)

Simplify:

=x^2+3x-40

Therefore:

(x-5)(x+8)=x^2+3x-40

Answer:

a. 311 hours

b. i. $3,100 in receipts  

   ii. $2,799 in expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The company is making $10 per hour and spending $9 an hour. Their profit is therefore:

= 10 - 9

= $1 per hour

Since they spent $311 on the new equipment, the amount of time it would take for them to make this back is:

= 311 / 1

= 311 hours

b. In 311 hours, the total receipts would be:

= 311 * 10

= $3,110

The expenses would be:

= 311 * 9

= $2,799
