Answer:

The two numbers are <em>16</em> and <em>26</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this question using 2 simultaneous equations based on the given information from the question.

Let number 1 = x

Let number 2 = y

xy = 416 -> ( 1 )

x + y = 42 -> ( 2 )

We can use either substitution or elimination to solve simultaneous equations. For this question, we will use substitution as it is the easier and shorter option.

Make y the subject in ( 2 ):

x + y = 42 -> ( 2 )

y = 42 - x -> ( 3 )

Substitute ( 3 ) into ( 1 ):

xy = 416 -> ( 1 )

x ( 42 - x ) = 416

42x - x^2 = 416

-x^2 + 42x - 416 = 0

- [ x^2 - 42x + 416 ] = 0

- [ x^2 - 16x - 26x + 416 ] = 0

- [ x ( x - 16 ) - 26 ( x - 16 ) ] = 0

- ( x - 16 ) ( x - 26 ) = 0

x = 16 -> ( 4 ) , x = 26 -> ( 5 )

Substitute ( 4 ) into ( 3 ):

y = 42 - x -> ( 3 )

y = 42 - ( 16 )

y = 26

Substitute ( 5 ) into ( 3 ):

y = 42 - x -> ( 3 )

y = 42 - ( 26 )

y = 16

Therefore:

x = 16 , y = 26

x = 26 , y = 16

The two numbers are 16 and 26.

can someone please solve this? I clicked on homework help and it wasn't much help. I'm trying to turn in as much missing assignm

Answer:

  • One proportion to solve is 8/18 = x/8
  • Exact answer as a fraction: x = 32/9
  • Approximate answer in decimal form: x = 3.556

In reality, the 5's go on forever, but we have to round off somewhere.

========================================================

Explanation:

Break up the triangles as your teacher recommends. See the diagram below as to what I mean.

The smaller triangle has A = 8 as the horizontal side, and B = x as the vertical side

The larger triangle has C = 10+8 = 18 as the horizontal aside, and D = 8 as the vertical side.

We can form the proportion A/C = B/D.

A/C connects the horizontal sides (small/large) while B/D has the vertical sides tied together. The order of division is the same small over large. You could do large over small, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.

-----------------

Let's solve for x

A/C = B/D

8/18 = x/8

8*8 = 18*x .... cross multiply

64 = 18x

18x = 64

x = 64/18 .... divide both sides by 18

x = 32/9  exactly in fraction form

x = 3.556 approximately in decimal form

-------------------

Another proportion you can solve is A/B = C/D and you should get the same x value. It's the same as A/C = B/D because the B and C swap places. There are many other approaches you could take using different proportions.

Hello this is how you do it!<3

9/4 = 21/4 therefore, 9/4 = 21/4

24/10 try to reduce the numerator and denominator by a common denominator 24/10 divided 2/2 = 12/5

16/2 divided 2/2 = 8/1 = 8

What is the solution for the equation 5/3b^3-2b-5=2/b3-2
irinina [24]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

\frac{5}{3b^3-2b^2-5}=\frac{2}{b^3-2}

To find: Solution of the Equation.

Consider,

5(b^3-2)=2(3b^3-2b^2-5)

5b^3-10=6b^3-4b^2-10

6b^3-5b^3-4b^2+10-10=0

b^3-4b^2=0

b^2(b-4)=0

b² = 0   ⇒ b = 0

b - 4 = 0 ⇒ b = 4

Therefore, Option C is correct.
