X+y=13
x-y=5
we can addd these 2 equations to eliminate y

2x+0y=18
2x=18
divide both sides by 2
x=9

sub back
x+y=13
9+y=13
minus 9 both sides
y=4

the 2 numbers are 9 and 4

X + y = 13
x - y = 5

x = (13 - y)

(13-y) - y = 5

13 - 2y = 5
-2y = -8
y = 4

x - 4 = 5
x = 9

x=9, y = 4

Answer:

14x + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of three sides of a triangle are 5x + 9 feet, 2x + 14 feet, and 7x feet.

The perimeter of a triangle: the sum of all of its sides.

5x + 9 + 2x + 14 + 7x

14x + 23

It's the expression of the perimeter of the triangle. Once you will be asked to find x, you'll probably be given the exact perimeter of the triangle.

60 is 30% of what number?

Phantasy [73]

Percent means parts out of 100
30%=30/100=3/10

'of' means multiply

60 is 30% of what translates to
60=3/10 times what
multiply both sides by 10/3
600/3=what
200=what
the number is 200
