One less than twice a number is seventeen.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the radical

= 
= 
Square both sides
T² =
( multiply both sides by (g + f) )
T²(g + f) = Ufg ( distribute left side )
T²g + T²f = Ufg ← subtract Ufg from both sides
T²g - Ufg + T²f = 0 ← subtract T²f from both sides
T²g - Ufg = - T²f ← factor out g from each term on the left side
g(T² - Uf) = - T²f ← divide both sides by (T² - Uf)
g = -
= 
it cannot be simplified, only rounded. THis rounded as a fraction is "7 7/10"
Answer:
y =
or -3.571
x =
or 1.429
Step-by-step explanation:
x - y = 5
x = 5 + y
Solve for y:
y = -6x + 5
y = -6(5 + y) + 5 Substitute x with 5 + y
y = -6(5) - 6y + 5
y = -30 - 6y + 5
y + 6y = -30 + 5
7y = -25
y =
or -3.571
Solve for x:
x = 5 + y
x = 5 + -25/7
x =
or 1.429
