Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 23 and their difference is 5

Mathematics

Let the two numbers be represented by x and y respectively.

Then x + y = 23, and x - y = 5.  

Solve this system of linear equations for x and y.  Start by rearranging them vertically:

x + y = 23

x - y = 5

---------------   Combining the two equations eliminates y:

2x = 28.

Then x = 14.  If x = 14, then 14 + y = 23, and y = 9..

The solution is (14, 9);  that is, x = 14 and y = 9.

I need help solving this
Stolb23 [73]

Step-by-step explanation:

So in the equation given, y = 2x - 3

you substitute x for whats given in the table in the x column.

Example

In the graph the first number under the x colum is -1.

y = 2x - 3 in the equation you take out x and put -1.

So now the equation becomes y = 2 × -1 - 3.

Using bedmas to solve the question you should get -5

Which now means y = -5

To plot the point now x would be -1 and y would be -5 (-1, -5)

Same thing for the second number in the x Column.

y = 2 × 1 - 3 which equals -1

To plot it

x = 1 y = -1. (1, -1)

And for the last number 3.

Agai. You substitute x for 3 which makes the equation y = 2 × 3 - 3

this gives you 3 and to plot it

x would be 3 and y would be 3

What is the surface area of a box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10
xenn [34]
If we are scaling up the surface area by a factor of 10 means that the two dimensions of area are each being increased by 10 times the original size. Therefore, the surface area is increased by a factor of 10 x 10, or by a factor of 100.
