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.

Find the exact circumference of a circle with the given radius. 5 inches C = 2.5π in. 10π in. 25π in.
docker41 [41]
The circumference, C, of a given circle may be calculated through the equation,
         
                                   C = 2πr

where r is the radius. 

Substituting the known values from the given in this item,
                                    C = 2(π)(5 in)
                                    <em>C = 10π in</em>

Thus, the answer is this item is the second choice.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

A = 41.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = A

Length of Adjacent side = 6

Length of Hypotenuse = 8

Apply the trigonometric function, CAH.

Cos A = Adj/Hyp

Substitute

Cos(A) = \frac{6}{8}

A = Cos^{-1}(\frac{6}{8})

A = 41.4° (approximated to the nearest tenth)

Find the derivative of f(x) = 7 divided by x at x = 1.
julsineya [31]
I find it best to switch everything exponents when taking derivatives.
F(x) = 7/x
Same as..
F(x) = 7x^-1
Take derivative..
F'(x) = -7x^-2
Plug in x = 1
F'(1) = -7(1)^-2
F'(1) = -7
