Let's represent the smaller number by x and the larger number x+23
x+x+23=65                                      x+23=21+23=44                                                                                                        So the two numbers are 21 and 44
2x+23=65
2x+23-23=65-23
2x=42
2x/2=42/2
x=21

Y=5x+4 and 3x+2y=20 by using elimination​
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 y = 5x + 4

-5x + y = 4 ----------------------(i)

3x + 2y = 20 --------------------(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by (-2)

(i)* (-2)     10x - 2y = -8

(ii)            <u>3x   + 2y = 20</u>    { Now add this two equations}

              13x           = 12      { -2y and 2y got eliminated}

                          x = 12/13

Plug in value of x in (i)

-5*12/13  + y = 4

-60/13 + y = 4

y = 4 + 60/13

y=\frac{4*13}{1*13}+\frac{60}{13}\\\\=\frac{52}{13}+\frac{60}{13}\\\\=\frac{112}{13}\\\\=8\frac{8}{13}y=

__________________

We have a dilemma here, there is a variable and constant numbers in this equation. No fear, this is when like terms comes into play, where you can only combine two numbers that have the same ending, whether it be variables, exponents, e.t.c.

Distribute :

4 + 16 - 12(1 + 2x)

4 + 16 - (12(1) + 12(2x))

4 + 16 - 12 + 24x

Use PEMDAS (Add left to right) :

4 + 16 - 12 + 24x

20 - 12 + 24x

8 + 24x

24x + 8

The isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 7.5 m. Which equation can be used to find the value of x if the shortest side, y, meas
kicyunya [14]
An isosceles triangle has 2 sides of the same length and one side that's not the same length.

So it says the shortest side, y, is 2.1m, so that means it's the side that is not the same length as the other two sides.

But the other two sides will be the same length. Let's make those 2 sides x.

The equation would be
x + x + 2.1 = 7.5

And with that you can find x.
