X + y = 8
x - y = 12
--------------add
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10

x + y = 8
10 + y = 8
y = 8 - 10
y = -2

ur numbers are 10 and -2

let the two numbers be: x y

x + y = 8

x - y = 12

Isolate the x in x + y = 8. Subtract y from both sides

x + y (-y) = 8 (-y)

x = 8 - y

Plug in 8 - y for x in the other equation

x - y = 12

(8 - y) - y = 12

Simplify

8 -2y = 12

Isolate the y. Subtract 8 from both sides, and then divide by -2

8 (-8) - 2y = 12 (-8)

-2y = 4

-2y/-2 = 4/-2

y = -2

Plug in -2 for y in one of the equations

x + y = 8

x + (-2) = 8

Simplify. Isolate the x. Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 (+2) = 8 (+2)

x = 10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x = 10, y = -2 is your answer

A triangle forms the front of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. Classify the triangle based on its sides. Then classify it based on i
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Step-by-step explanation:

Classification based on sides:

Equilateral - Three sides with same length.

Isosceles - Two sides with same length.

Scalene - No sides with same length.

Classification based on sides:

Acute-Angled - All angles are acute. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \alpha < 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \beta < 90^{\circ}, \theta + \alpha + \beta = 180^{\circ})

Right-Angled - One angle is right. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ};\alpha = 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \beta < 90^{\circ}, \theta + \alpha + \beta = 180^{\circ})

Obtuse-Angled - One angle is obtuse. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ},90^{\circ}

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST PLZ HELP
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a function f(x) and for a constant k

f(x+k) represents a horizontal translation for the function f(x) by k units in the negative-x direction.

Hence f(x+k) is simply the graph of f(x) that has been moved left (negative x direction) by k units.

From the graph, we can see that g(x) = f(x+k) is simply the graph of f(x) that has been moved 4 units in the negative x-direction.

hence K is simply 4 units.

Translate the following into an algebraic expression: A number is 30% of 20% of the number x.
bezimeni [28]

Answer: 0.06x

Step-by-step explanation:

  • An algebraic expression is an expression consist of integer constants, variables, and algebraic operations.

The given statement:  A number is 30% of 20% of the number x.

The required algebraic expression would be:

30% of 20% of x

=\dfrac{30}{100}\times \dfrac{20}{100}\times x  [we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into decimal]

=\dfrac{6}{100}\times x\\\\=0.06x

Hence, the required algebraic expression would be :

0.06x
