Answer:
first number(x) = 2 second number(y)= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of a simultaneous equation.
First write this word problem as equations, where x is the "first number" that you've mentioned and y is the "second number".
x + 2y = 14 (equation 1)
2x + y = 10 (equation 2)
This is solved using the elimination method.
We need to make one of the coefficients the same - in this case we can make y the same. In order to do this we need to multiply equation 2 by 2, so that y becomes 2y.
2x + y = 10 MULTIPLY BY 2
4x + 2y = 20 (this is now our new equation 2 with the same y coefficient)
Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2.
4x - x + 2y - 2y = 20 - 14 (2y cancels out here)
3x = 6
x = 2
Now we substitute our x value into equation 1 to find the value of y.
2 + 2y = 14
2y = 12
y = 6
Hope this has answered your question.
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation simplifies to -2x+8 so p should be replaced with -2
I think 80 I’m not sure ........
easy way...
multiply Base x height (for both)
30 inches x 12 inches = 360 in
16 in. x 12 in = 192 in.
then add both
360 + 192 = 552
A=552 in²
