x + y = 52

x = y - 18

Adding,

2x + y = 52 + y - 18

2x = 34

x = 17

y = x + 18 = 35

Check: x+y = 17+35 = 52, good

Answer: 17 and 35

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(c+9)^2=64=8^2\\$

c+9=±8

either c=8-9=-1

c=-8-9=-17

so c=-1,-17

8x^2-3=2

8x^2=5

$x^2=\frac{5}{8}=\frac{10}{16}$

$x=±\frac{\sqrt{10}}{4}$

so A

$x^2+4x+4=18\\(x+2)^2=9*2\\x+2=3\sqrt{2} \\x=-2 ±3\sqrt{2}$

so D

F = $\frac{s+24}{3}$

express the equation with F on the left side

3F - 24 = s ( add 24 to both sides )

3F = s + 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

F = $\frac{s+24}{3}$
