Answer:
x = 29
y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Write 2 equations:
x + y = 42
x - y = 16
Isolate x in the first equation:
x = 42 - y
Substitute this in for x in the second equation:
42 - y - y = 16
42 - 2y = 16
solve for y:
-2y = -26
y = 13
Plug in 13 for y in either equation:
x + 13 = 42
Solve for x:
x = 29
Answer:
x² - 30 + 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 5)(x − 5)
=x(x − 5)+5(x − 5)
=x² - 5 + 5x - 25
=x² - 30 + 5x
What is NOT true about the solution is that it can have different values
