The difference of two numbers is 16 and the sum of their squares is 130. What are the numbers.

1 answer:

4 0

x - y = 16
x^2 + x^2 = 130

----------------
x^2 - y^2 = 256
+(x^2 + y^2 = 130)
2x^2 = 386
x^2 = 193
x = <span>13.892 (3DP)
----
</span>x - y = 16
13.892 - y = 16
-y = 2.108
y = -2.108
The numbers are: 13.892 and -2.108

For the diagram below, form an equation and then solve it to calculate the value of x

Talja [164]

You apply the sum of interior angles formula ie. (n-2)180. n=number of sides
since a pentagon has 5 sides it will be (5-2)180=540.
now add everything. x-5+x-6+2x-7+x+2x-2=540.
Solve for x: 7x-20=540
7x=540+20
7x=560
x=560/7
x=80
