Answer:
He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of ounces of raisins
y -----> the number of ounces of nuts
we know that
x+y=24 -----> equation A
x=2y -----> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
(2y)+y=24
3y=24
y=8 ounces of nuts
Find the value of x
x=2(8)=16 ounces of raisins
therefore
He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts
Answer:
thanks for the points bro
Answer:
The two numbers are -5 and -4
Explanation:
Assume that the first number is x and that the second number is x+1.
We know that the sum of their squares is 41. This means that:
x² + (x+1)² = 41
We will expand the brackets and factorize to get the value of x as follows:
x² + (x+1)² = 41
x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 41
2x² + 2x + 1 - 41 = 0
2x² + 2x - 40 = 0
We can divide all terms by 2 to simplify the equation:
x² + x - 20 = 0 ..........> equation required in part II
Now, we can factorize this equation to get the values of x:
x² + x - 20 = 0
(x-4)(x+5) = 0
either x = 4 .........> rejected because we know that x should be negative
or x = -5 ...........> accepted
Based on the above calculations, the two numbers are -5 and -4
Hope this helps :)
B+11 ? I’m not sure is this high school math ?
