Two numbers whose sum is 29 and their difference is 15

n200080 [17]

Answer:

22 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers we are looking for:

The statement “their sum is 29” means x + y = 29

The statement “their difference is 15” means x - y = 15

we get this system:

x + y = 29 (1)

x - y = 15 (2)

Let’s solve it :

(1) + (2) ⇒ x + y + x - y = 29 + 15 ⇒ 2x = 44 ⇒ x = 44/2 = 22

Now we replace x by 22 in equation (1) :

22 + y = 29 ⇒ y = 29 - 22 = 7

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