Answer:

x=  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−2(x+1)= 1 /4

5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)= 1 /4

(Distribute)

5x+−2x+−2= 1 /4

(5x+−2x)+(−2)= 1 /4

(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−2= 1 /4

3x−2=1 /4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3x−2+2= 1 /4 +2

3x= 9 /4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/ 3 = 9 /4 /3

x= 3 /4

5x-2(x+1)=1/4
5x-2x-2=1/4
3x-2=1/4
3x=2 1/4
3x=9/4
3x/3=(9/4)/3
x=(9/4)(1/3)
x=9/12
x=3/4

The sum of two numbers is 8, and the sum of their squares is 34. what is the larger number
bija089 [108]

Answer:

The larger number is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be represented by x and y.  Then:

x + y = 8   is their sum, and

x² + y² = 34 is the sum of their squares.

Let's solve this system of equations using substitution.  Since x + y = 8,

x = 8 - y.  Subbing this 8 - y for x into the second equation, we get:

(8 - y)² + y² = 34, or

64 - 16 y + y² + y² = 34

Simplifying, we get first: 30 - 16y + 2y² = 0, and then:

2y² - 16y + 30 = 0, and after reducing, y² - 8y + 15 = 0.

This factors into (y - 3)(y - 5) = 0, and so y = 3 and y = 5.

The larger number is 5.
