Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 21 * (-4) •••••• -12x -20y = -84 (a)

4x - 2y = -24 * (3) •••••• 12x -6y = -72 (b)

(a) + (b)

-26y = -156

y = 6

3x + 5 * 6 = 21

3x = 21 - 30

3x = -9

x = -3

When josh borrowed money, he originally agreed to repay the loan by making three equal payments of $1500, with a payment due now
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal Amount to be paid=$4500

Interest rate = 2%

Number if Times compounded= number of years

Number of years = x

Among total= $5010

A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)

But n= t =x

A= p(1+r/x)^(x²)

5010=4500(1+0.02/x)^(x²)

5010/4500 = (1+0.02/x)^(x²)

1.11333=( 1+0.02/x)^(x²)

Using trial and error method the number of years maximum to give approximately $5010 is 5 years

The difference between two positive integers is 7 and the sum of their squares is 949. What are the numbers?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

25 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the first number is x and the second one is y.

First, the difference between them is 7, so x-y=7

Next, the sum of their squares is 949, so x²+y² = 949

We have

x-y=7

x²+y²=949

One thing we can do to solve this problem is to solve for x in the first equation, plug that into the second equation, and go from there

Adding y to both sides in the first equation, we have

x = 7 + y

Plugging that into the second equation for x, we have

(7+y)²+ y² = 949

expand

(7+y)(7+y) + y² = 949

49 + y² + 7y + 7y + y² = 949

combine like terms

2y² +14y + 49 = 949

subtract 949 from both sides to put this in the form of a quadratic equation

2y² + 14y - 900 = 0

divide both sides by 2

y² + 7y - 450 = 0

To factor this, we want to find 2 numbers that add up to 7 and multiply to -450.

The factors of 450 are as follows:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, 45, 50, 75, 90, 150, 225, and 450.

Note that we want to find two numbers with a difference of 7, as one will have to be negative for the multiplication to end up at -450. Two numbers that stand out are 18 and 25. To make them add up to 7, 18 can be negative. We therefore have

y² + 25y - 18y - 450 = 0

y(y+25) - 18(y+25) = 0

(y-18)(y+25) = 0

Solving for 0,

y-18 = 0

add 18 to both sides

y=18

y+25 = 0

subtract 25 from both sides

y= -25

As the question states "two positive integers", this means that y must be positive, so y = 18. We know x-y=7, so

x-18 = 7

add 18 to both sides to isolate x

x = 25
