Let x and y be the two numbers.  


x = y - 4  


2y = 5x - 10  


Now, we solve the system of equations:  


2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  


2y = 5y - 20 - 10  


-3y = -30  



So...


y = 10  


x = 10 - 4 = 6

Let x and y be the two numbers.  

x = y - 4  

2y = 5x - 10  

solve the system of equations:  

2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  

2y = 5y - 20 - 10  

-3y = -30  

y = 10  

x = 10 - 4 = 6

Is the sum of two integers always greater than the difference between them? Why or why not?
Sauron [17]
Yes because the gap is one less than the bigger of the two integers, plus you are adding a little bit more to the bigger integer so the sum will always be bigger than the difference.

Find the coordinates of midpoint F.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The coordinates are (0,b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the coordinates of the midpoint F

as we can see, F is between A and B

we proceed to use the midpoint formula

The midpoint formula is;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

(x1,y1) = (-3a, b)

(x2,y2) = (3a, b)

The substitution of these values will thus yield;

(-3a + 3a)/2, (b + b)/2

= (0/2), (2b/2)

= (0, b)
