Answer:

The answer is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/ (x + 8) = 2/ (x + 3)

*Cross multiply

3 (x + 3) = 2 (x + 8)

3x + 9 = 2x + 16

3x - 2x = 16 - 9

x = 7

x.......y...1
5.....12..1
-10..-3..1

12x -10y -15 + 120 -5y + 3x = 0
12x + 3x - 10y - 5y - 15 + 120 = 0
15x - 15y + 105 = 0 :(5)
3x - 5y + 21 = 0
m = -a/b
m = -3/-5
m(5) = 3/5

y-yo = m(x-xo)
y-14 = 3/5*(x-7)
y-14 = 3x/5 - 7/5
3x/5 - y + 14 - 7/5 = 0
3x/5 - 5y/5 + 70/5 - 7/5 = 0
3x - 5y + 70 - 7 =0
3x - 5y + 63 = 0
m(s) = -3/-5 = 3/5

m(r) = m(s) --> são paralelas

"<span>The sum of the squares of the digits is 26"
</span>10t + u = 26  ---->(1)

<span>"If the number is decreased by the number with its digits reversed, the result is 36"

By subtracting the equation we can find t.
</span>  u+10t = 26)<span>
-(u-10t=36)</span>
______________
0u  +20t = 26 -36
---> 20t = -10
t= -10/20
t= -1/2

Inserting value t in (1)
10t + u = 26 
10(-1/2) + u= 26
-5+u=26
u= 26+5 = 31
<span>
Using u and t in the original expression 10t+u express a positive number

10t+u
= 10(-1/2) +u
= -5 + 31
= 26
----> Proves this statement is true 
</span>"The sum of the squares of the digits is 26"
10t + u = 26 <span>

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The solution of the given equations are (3,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are :

3d−e=7 ...(1)

d+e=5 ...(2)

Add equations (1) and (2) we get :

3d-e+d+e=7+5

4d = 12

d = 3

Put the value of d in equation (2).

3+e=5

e = 2

So, the value of d = 3 and e = 2. Solution of the given equations are (3,2).
