Mathematics
1 answer:
nekit [7.7K]3 years ago

Answer: x = 3 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - x + 4 ............... equation 1

y = x - 2 ............. equation 2

Solving the linear equation by substitution method , we have :

substitute equation 2 into equation 1 , that is

x - 2 = - x + 4

Add 2 to both sides , we have

x = -x + 4 + 2

Add x to both sides , we have

2x = 6

divide through by 2

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into equation 2 to find the value of y , we have

y = x - 2

y = 3 - 2

y = 1

Therefore : x = 3 and y = 1

I'm thinking of a number. This number is 12 less than its square. What could my number be?
omeli [17]

let nwmber to be X

the number is 12 less than it's square,

so X=12-X^2

=> X^2+X-12=0

=> (X+4)(X-3)=0

=>X= 3, or X=-4

in math we don't usually take negative numbers into account so your number would be 3
