Answer:
The two numbers are 4 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn the words into equations: let's assign one number to be x and the other to be y
x+8=y
x*y=-16
To solve, substitute the value of y in the first equation into y in the second equation.
This gives x*(x+8)=-16
Simplifying gives x^2+8x=-16
x^2+8x+16=0
(x+4)^2=0
x=-4
plug this value of x back into the first equation, -4+8=y, y is 4
Now to make sure the answer is correct: 4 is 8 more than -4, and 4*-4 does equal 16
Answer:
1 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions first
2 1/2 turns into 5/2
then you make the denominators the same
5/2 turn into 10/4
then you subtract
10/4 - 3/4 = 7/4
then you turn it into a mixed number
7/4 turns into 1 3/4
So for this you need to set the two equations equal to each other. 20+.05x=10+.07x then solve. Subtract .05 from both sides and get 20=10+.02x. Then subtract 10 from the other side and get 10=.02x Isolate x by dividing 10 by .02. This leaves you with the answer of 500 texts.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
This would be easier to understand if it was written like f(x) - g(x). You might see what the question really is.
Equation
(f - g)x = f(x) - g(x)
Solution
(f - g)x = 9 - x - (3 - x) remove the brackets
(f - g)x = 9 - x - 3 + x
(f - g)x = 6
B is the answer there is a common denominator y’a welcome
