Answer: 19 and 31

Step-by-step explanation: Make the first number x, the second number y.

The sum of x and y is 50: x+y=50

x is 43 less than 2y: x=2y-43

replace x in equation x+y=50 with x=2y-43: 2y-43+y=50

combine like terms: 3y-43=50

add 43 to both sides: 3y=93

divide both sides by 3: y=31

replace y in equation x+y=50 with y=31: x+31=50

subtract 43 31 from both sides: x=19

the solution to the question is the first number is 19, the second number is 31

Y = x + 3
to test all of these, just use the visible x-coordinates on the grid and substitute them in the equation.
eg; y = (2) + 3 --> y = 5 . So the line would cross through (2,5)

-6/5×-4=-46 step by step​
podryga [215]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6/5×-4=-46

Collecting like terms

6/5x = -46 + 4

6/5x = -42

Multiply each term by 5

6x = -210

Dividing each term by 6

x = -210/6

x = -35

Which of the following is a root of the polynomial shown below?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

We conclude that option A is true as x = 1 is the root of the polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial

f\left(x\right)\:=\:x^2\:+\:2x^2\:-\:x-2

Let us determine the root of the polynomial shown below.

\:0=\:x^2\:+\:2x^2\:-\:x-2

0=3x^2-x-2

switch sides

3x^2-x-2=0

as

3x^2-x-2=\left(3x+2\right)\left(x-1\right)

so the equation becomes

\left(3x+2\right)\left(x-1\right)=0

Using the zero factor principle

3x+2=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-1=0

solving

3x+2=0

3x=-2

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-2}{3}

x=-\frac{2}{3}

and

x-1=0

x=1

The possible roots of the polynomial will be:

x=-\frac{2}{3},\:x=1

Therefore, from the mentioned options, we conclude that option A is true as x = 1 is the root of the polynomial.

The sum of n terms of the AP √3, √8, √18, √32,.... is​
Flura [38]

S = √2+√8+√18+√32+……………… n terms.

or, S = √2 + 2√2 +3√2 +4√2.+………………….+ n terms.

This is an A.P. in which a = √2. , d = √2.

Sn = n/2.[2.a +(n-1).d].

or, Sn = n/2.[ 2√2 +(n-1).√2].

or, Sn = (n/2).√2.[ 2 +n-1].

or, Sn = n.(n+1)/√2. Answer.

Factor 8X squared + 10x + 2​
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

2(4x + 1)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x² + 10x + 2 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(4x² + 5x + 1)

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 4 × 1 = 4 and sum = + 5

The factors are + 1 and + 4

Use these factors to split the x - term

4x² + x + 4x + 1 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= x(4x + 1) + 1 (4x + 1) ← factor out (4x + 1)

= (4x + 1)(x + 1), thus

4x² + 5x + 1 = (4x + 1)(x + 1) and

8x² + 10x + 2 = 2(4x + 1)(x + 1) ← in factored form
