Answer:

10, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x = larger number

y = smaller number

...

x = 10+y

5x=40+6y

...

Substitution of x into the second equation

5(10+y)=40+6y

50 + 5y = 40 + 6y

...

Isolate y

5y - 6y = 40 - 50

-y = -10

Divide both sides by -1

y=10 is the smaller number

...

Rearrange x = 10+y to y = x-10

Substitute into 5x=40+6y

5x = 40 + 6(x-10)

5x = 40 + 6x - 60

...

Isolate x

5x - 6x = 40 - 60

-x = -20

Divide both sides by -1

X=20 is the larger number

A rectangle has a length of 3.6 in, and a perimeter of 16.8 in.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Width = 4.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

P=2l+2w

Where

P is perimeter

l is length

w is width

Given length = 3.6 and perimeter = 16.8, we plug them in into the formula and figure out the width, w. Process shown below:

P=2l+2w\\16.8=2(3.6)+2w\\16.8=7.2+2w\\16.8-7.2=2w\\9.6=2w\\w=\frac{9.6}{2}\\w=4.8

Hence, the width is 4.8 inches

SashulF [63]

Answer:   - (2 + 3) = -5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

When combining numbers that have the same sign, you add them and then include the sign.

For example:

-2 - 3 = -(2 + 3) = -5

-6 - 5 = -(6 + 5) = -11

-7 - 8 = -(7 + 8) = -15
