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

The variable z varies jointly with x and y. If z = 18 when x = 2 and y = 6, find the constant of variation, k, and then find the
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The constant of variation k is 3/2.

The value of z is -30.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know Function form is

Z=kxy-------------1

So for k  

K = z/xy

So if z=18, x=2 y=6

k= 18/2 x6

k= 18/12

k=3/2

Now we have to find for z, now we know the value of x= -4  y =5 z =3/2

z= kxy

z= 3/2  (-4)(5)

z= -30
