The sum of two numbers is 17

Mathematics
1 answer:
swat323 years ago
6 0

Answer:

10 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be A and B

The sum of the two numbers is 17.

That’s

A + B = 17

The difference of the numbers is 3

A - B = 3

We now have two equations

1. A + B = 17

2 . A - B = 3

Subtract equation two from equation one.

B - - B = B + B = 2B

2B = 14

Divide both sides by 2

2B/2 = 14/2

B = 7

Now substitute 7 for B into either of the equations to get A.

Using equation 1 we have

A + B = 17

A + 7 = 17

Subtract 7 from both sides

A - 7 = 17 - 7

A = 10

The numbers are 10 and 7

What is the answer to this?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

  (c)  III

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the equations and the left side is identical to the right side, then there are an infinite number of solutions: the equation is true for all values of x.

Another way to simplify the equation is to subtract the right side from both sides. If that simplifies to 0 = 0, then there are an infinite number of solutions.

__

<h3>I. </h3>

  2x -6 -6x = 2 -4x . . . . eliminate parentheses

  -4x -6 = -4x +2 . . . . no solutions (no value of x makes this true)

__

<h3>II.</h3>

  x +2 = 15x +10 +2x . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x +2 = 17x +10 . . . . one solution (x=-1/2)

<h3>III.</h3>

  4 +6x = 6x +4 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  6x +4 = 6x +4 . . . . infinite solutions
