Answer:

The system of equations are:

x + y = 12

y = 2x  

Solution

x = 4

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sum of two numbers is 12. The first number, x, is twice the second number,y

Now we have to form the system of equations to find the solution.

The sum of two numbers is 12.

The first number = x

The second number y = 2x.

x + y = 12 ----(1)

y = 2x  --- (2)

These are the system of equations.

Now let's solve them.

Now plug in y = 2x in the first equation.

x + 2x = 12

Simplifying the like terms, we get

3x = 12

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

x = 4

To find the value of y, that is the second term, we need to plug in x = 4 in the second equation, we get

y = 2*4 = 8

So the first number is 4 and the second number is 8.

From eight different books, in how many ways can any four of them be arranged side by side on a bookshelf?
Snezhnost [94]
First we calculate how many ways you can choose four books from a set of eight.
We use the formula n! / [r! * (n-r)!]

8! / [4! * 4!]

= 8*7*6*5 / 4*3*2*1 = 70 ways

Then we have to calculate how many permutations can be made from 4 objects which equals 4*3*2*1 = 24

So, the TOTAL number of ways = 70 * 24 = 1,680
