X + y = 17
x - y = 29

x = 17 - y
x - y = 29

x = 17 - y
17 - y - y = 29

x = 17 - y
17 - 2y = 29

x = 17 - y 
- 2y = 29 - 17

x = 17 - y
-2y = 12

x = 17 - y 
y = -6

x = 17 - (-6)
y = -6

x = 17 + 6
y = -6

x = 23
y = -6

X + y = 17
x - y = 29

We're going to do substitution.

1. We first put one of these in terms of x or y. Either are fine, but I'm going to do x, and any of the equations are fine, but I'm going to do the first one.

x + y = 17 >> x = -y + 17

2. We plug in this x-value into the other equation, and solve for the variable.

(-y+17) - y = 29
-2y + 17 = 29
-2y = 12
y = -6

3. We now plug the variable we found (y in this case) into the first equation to find the other variable (x).

x + -6 = 17 >> x = 23



In conclusion, the two numbers are 23 and -6.

Two gears are connected and are rotating simultaneously. The smaller gear has a radius of 2 inches, and the larger gear has a ra
alex41 [277]
The two gears are shown n the diagram below.

ω₁ and ω₂ are the angular velocities of the larger and smaller gears respectively.

Part 1.
When the smaller gear makes one revolution, it turns through an angle of 2π radians or 360°.
Because the gears do not slip, the larger gear turns through an angle of θ, so that
 (θ radians)*(8 in) = (2π radians)*(2 in)
or
8θ = 4π
θ = π/2 radians = 90°

Answer: 90.0°

Part 2.
When the larger gear makes one revolution, it turns through an angle of 2π radians.
Because the gears do not slip, the smaller gear turns through an angle φ, such that
(2 in)*(φ radians) = (8 in)*(2π radians)
or
2φ = 16π
φ = 8π radians
    = (8π radians)*(1/2π rotations/radian)
    = 4 rotations

Answer:  4 rotations

14 x blank x blank =169 I need help with the blanks because 169 is the face area.
luda_lava [24]
Answer:

Volume of the rectangular prism = 2366 cubic inches

Explanations:

The volume of a prism = Base Area x Height

In this case, the base area is referred to as the face area

Base area = 169 square inches

Height = 14 inches

Volume of the prism = 169 x 14

Volume of the rectangular prism = 2366 cubic inches
