Answer:

Numbers are 14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

Write 2 equations:

x + y = 22

x - y = 6

Solve by substitution:

x - y = 6

x = y + 6

Plug into the other equation:

(y + 6) + y = 22

2y + 6 = 22

2y = 16

y = 8

Plug into either equation:

x + 8 = 22

x = 14

Numbers are 14 and 8

Answer:

14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 22-x  (x+22-x=22)

22-x-x=6

22-2x=6

22-6=2x

16=2x

x=8

22-8=14

The strength of a cable is proportional to the square of its diameter. If a 2-cm cable will support 800kg, how much will a 3-cm
xz_007 [3.2K]
Strength [is proportional to] d^2
strength1/(d1)^2 = strength2/(d2)^2
800kg/(2cm)^2 = strength2/(3cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * (3 cm)^2/(2 cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 3^2/2^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 9/4
strength2 = 1800 kg

The square below has an area of 1+ 2x + x² square meters.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

1 + x  meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A square has 4 equal sides so each side will have a length equal to the square root of the area.

Side length = √(1 + 2x + x^2)

                   = √(1 + x)(1 + x)

                   = 1 + x.
