Radical Equation:
1. Isolate the radical expression.
2. Square both sides of the equation: If x = y then x2 = y2.
3. Once the radical is removed, solve for the unknown.
4. Check all answers.
Another way of saying it:
1. Isolate the radical expression involving the variable. ...
2. Raise both sides of the equation to the index of the radical.
3. If there is still a radical equation, repeat steps 1 and 2; otherwise, solve the resulting equation and check the answer in the original equation.
Answer: -600 and 1600 were invested into the two accounts.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = amount invested in the first account.
y = amount invested in the second account.
You start off with this equation
Subtract both sides by y.
Subsitude 1000 - x for x for the second equation.
Use the distributive property to solve for y.
Subsitude -600 for y in the first equation and solve for x.
-600 and 1600 were invested into the two accounts.
Hmmmm, it's either B or C, but I think B is closer related to a genre, so I think the answer is C, it has to do with the story's settings! :)
Fingers crossed that I helped!
X=27 and y=11
if you let each number equal x and y we know the sum is 38 so x+y=38
and the smaller is 16 less than the larger
. so if we say the smaller number is 7 then x-16=y
these can be solved as a simultaneous equation. x+(x-16)=38
2x-16=38
2x=54
x=27
(27)-16=y
y=11
so the answer is x=27 y=11
