Answer:

42 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers

the sum of the two numbers is 63

y+x = 63

The difference between the numbers is 21

x-y= 21

so the two equations are :

\left \{ {{x+y=63} \atop {x-y=21}} \right.

add both equations to eliminate y

x+y+x-y = 63+21

2x =84

x= 42

y= 42-21 = 21

the two numbers are 42 and 21

What is the value of x in the equation. 8 x - 2 y= 48 when y =4​
goldfiish [28.3K]

\qquad❄️\boxed{\bf x = 7}\\\\

We are given –

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\bf 8x -2 y =48

  • And also value of y's given. So, just put the value of y in the given equation.

___________________________________

\qquad \purple{\twoheadrightarrow\bf 8x -2 y =48}

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\sf  8x - \underbrace{2 \times 4} =48

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\sf  8x - 8 =48

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\sf  8x = 48 +8

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\sf  8x = 56

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\sf  x =\cancel{\dfrac{56}{8}}

\qquad \purple{\twoheadrightarrow\bf x= 7}

  • Henceforth, value of x is 7.

What is the answer to this problem
Tpy6a [65]

Step One

Solve for CE as a numerical value

CE = 1/2 * CD = 1/2 66 = 33

CE = 33

Step Two

Solve for x

CD also equals x^2 - 3     which is given.

x^2 - 3 = 33                       Add 3 to both sides

x^2 = 33 + 3

x^2 = 36                            Take the square root of both sides

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(36)

x = 6

Step 3

Find the length of AE

AE is given as 6x - 10

x = 6

AE = 6*6 - 10

AE = 36 - 10

AE = 26

Step 4

Find AB

AE = 1/2 AB                  Definition of bisect

26 = 1/2 AB                  Multiply by 2

2*26 = AB

AB = 52       <<<<<<<<Answer
