Answer

-1,11

step by step

when x =11

3|x-5|=20

3|11-5|+2=20

3|6|+2=20

18+2=20

20=20

when x=-1

3|-1-5|+2=20

3|-6|+2=20(the -6 became 6 due to | | sign)

3*6+2=20

18+2=20

20=20

I'm not too sure about this one but if you find 3% of $200 you get 6 and if you multiply that by 2 ( for the 2 years ) you'll get ( A $12 )

One number is 4 more than another, and their sum is 60. What is the smaller number? If x = the larger number and y = the smaller

erik [133]

Answer:

a. $x+y=60$ and $-x+y=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger number and y be the smaller number.

We have been given that one number is 4 more than another. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$y=x+4...(1)$

We can manipulate this equation as:

$y-x=x-x+4$

$-x+y=4$

We are also told that the sum of both numbers is 60. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$x+y=60...(2)$

Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that option 'a' is the correct choice.

Write a system of linear equations that has the ordered pair (1,4) as it's solition

Lemur [1.5K]

The required system of equations is $x+y=5\\x-y=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write a system of linear equations that has the ordered pair (1,4) as it's solution.

It means we need to find system of linear equations, which after being solved gives x=1 and y=4

Let the system of equations be:

$x+y=5\\x-y=-3$

I have made equations such that adding x+y gives 5 i,e (1+4=5) and subtracting x-y gives -3 (1-4=-3)

Now solving this system of equations to find value of x:

$x+y=5\,\,eq(1)\\x-y=-3\,\,eq(2)$

Adding eq(1) and eq(2)

$x+y=5\\x-y=-3\\-----\\2x=2\\x=1$

Putting value of x=1 into eq(1) to find value of y

$x+y=5\\1+y=5\\y=5-1\\y=4$

The solution set after solving system of equations is (1,4).

The required system of equations is $x+y=5\\x-y=-3$
