8 0

Answer:

14, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y =8 =>x=y+8

x+y=20

y+8 +y=20

2y=20 - 8

2y=12

y=12 :2

y=6 (the second number

x=6 +8 =14 (the first number

Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x-y = 8

x+y = 20

Add the two equations

x-y = 8

x+y = 20

-----------------

2x = 28

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 28/2

x = 14

Subtract the two equations

x-y = 8

-x-y = -20

-----------------

-2y = -12

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -12/-2

y = 6

The numbers are 6 and 14

We want to get rid of the stuff in the denomenator

gcd of the denomenator is 2x
but wait, we can get rid of the deonmenator in the numerator by multiplying by 4x

muliplty the whole thing by 4x/4x

we get $\frac{x(x^2)}{4(2)+2(x+4)}=\frac{x^3}{2x+16}$

Need help with this, simple but I don't understand/remember how to do it.

By using definition of proportionality and Pythagorean theorem, the values of x and y associated with the geometrical system formed by two right triangles are 36 / 5 and 104 / 5, respectively.

<h3>How to analyze a geometrical system formed by two proportional right triangles</h3>

Herein we find a picture of a geometrical system formed by two proportional right triangles with two variables: {x, y} These variables can be found by using the definition of proportionality and the Pythagorean theorem:

5 / 8 = 12 / (12 + x) = 13 / y

Then, we proceed to solve the system formed by two equations:

(12 + x) / 12 = 8 / 5

12 + x = 96 / 5

x = 96 / 5 - 12

x = 36 / 5

y / 13 = 8 / 5

y = 104 / 5
