Answer: When given a literal equation, you will often be asked to solve the equation for a

given variable. The goal is to isolate that given variable. The process is the same

process that you use to solve linear equations; the only difference is that you will

be working with a lot more letters, and you may not be able to simplify as much as

you can with linear equations. This packet will hopefully show you the process in a

simple manner so that you will be able to solve literal equations yourself.

A. answer is: y = 13/2 OR you can say 6.5 after you simplyfi
13 over 2

b. answer is: x = 18/4 OR you can say 4.5 after you simplyfi
18 over 4

Thank you :)

Justin has $7.50 more than Eva, and Emma has $12 less than Justin. Together, they have a total of $63.00. How much money does ea

uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: emma's amount be X . justin has $7.50+x because he has $7.50 more than emma.Since emma has 7.50+x-$12.to get everyones amount add what they have together which is=$7.50+x+$7.50+x-12 which in total is $63.00.after the calculations you get x=30.now distribute the x equally. so justin has $7.50+30=37.50.we also distribute it with emma's which is 7.50+30-12=25.5.

justin=$37.50

Emma=$25.50

to be sure add 37.50+25.50=$63

X²+Y²=250 and XY=117<br> What are the values of X and Y?

yan [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+y^2=250\\\\x^2-2xy+y^2+2xy=250\\\\(x-y)^2=250-2xy\\\\(x-y)^2=250-2\cdot117\\\\ (x-y)^2=16\\\\x-y=4\qquad\qquad\vee\qquad \qquad x-y=-4\\\\x=4+y \qquad\qquad \vee\qquad\qquad x=-4+y\\\\(y+4)y=117\qquad\vee\qquad\quad (y-4)y=117\\\\y^2+4y-117=0\qquad\vee\qquad y^2-4y-117=0\\\\y=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(-117)}}{2\cdot1}\qquad\vee\qquad y=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(-117)}}{2\cdot1}\\\\y=\dfrac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+468}}{2}\qquad\ \ \vee\qquad y=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{16+468}}{2}$

$y_1=\dfrac{-4-22}{2}\ ,\quad y_2=\dfrac{-4+22}{2}\ ,\quad y_3=\dfrac{4-22}{2}\ ,\quad y_4=\dfrac{4+22}{2}\\\\y_1=-13\ ,\qquad y_2=9\ ,\qquad\quad\qquad\ y_3=-9\ ,\qquad y_4=13\\\\x_{1,2}=4+y_{1,2}\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad x_{3,4}=-4+y_{3,4}\\\\x_1=-9\ ,\qquad x_2=13\ ,\qquad\quad\qquad x_3=-13\ ,\qquad x_4=9$
