X + y = 56 ------------------(1)
x:y = 5:3
x/y = 5/3
3 x = 5 y
so, x = (5/3)y---------------(2)
sub (2) in (1)
x + y = 56
(5/3)y + y = 56
5 y + 3 y = 168
  8 y  = 168
  y  =  168 / 8  = 21
x = (5/3) x 21
  =  35
the value of x - y = 35 - 21
                          = 14

For an integer x,x squared minus x will always produce an even value
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Not exactly sure what your question is - I am assuming that it is something like:

Show/prove that for any integer x, x^2 - x is even.

Suppose that x is an even integer.  The product of an even integer and any other integer is always even (x = 2n, so x * y = 2 n * y which is even.  Therefore x^2 is even.  An even minus an even is even.  (The definition of an even number is that it is divisible by 2 or has a factor of 2.  So the difference of even numbers could be written as 2*( the difference of the two numbers divided by 2); therefore the difference is even)

Suppose that x is an odd integer.  The product of 2 odd numbers is odd - each odd number can be written as the sum of an even number and 1; multiplying the even parts with each other and 1 will produce even; multiplying the 1's will produce 1, so the product can be written as the sum of an even number and 1 - which is an odd number.  The difference between two odd numbers is even - the difference between the even parts is even (argument above), the difference between 1 and 1 is zero, so the result of the difference is even.

x^2 is therefore even if x is even and odd if x is odd; The difference x^2 - x is even by the arguments above.

Which of the following points satisfies the inequality x ≥ -3? (Select all that apply.) (0, -2) (5, -5) (-3, 4) (-4, 2)
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is (0, -2) (5, -5) (-3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is x ≥ -3

<u>To find the correct answers</u>

1) (0, -2)

x ≥ -3

0 ≥ -3  TRUE

2) (5, -5)

x ≥ -3

0 ≥ -3 TRUE

3) (-3, 4)

x ≥ -3

0 ≥ -3 TRUE

4) (-4, -2)

x ≥ -3

5 ≥ -3  FALSE

Therefore the  correct answer is (0, -2) (5, -5) (-3, 4)
