Answer: x=31 and y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=50

X-y=12

2x + 0y = 62

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

Now find y by plugging in 31 for x

31+y = 50

Subtract 31

y = 50-31

y = 19

Answer:

The two numbers are 31 and 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the numbers

x+y = 50

x-y = 12

Add the two equations together

x+y = 50

x-y = 12

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

2x +0y = 62

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

Now find y

31+y = 50

Subtract 31

y = 50-31

y = 19

Sivide both sides by 4
X=-4.5

Multiply and simplify. (2x - 1)(6x - 7)
Kryger [21]

Answer:

D) 12x² - 20x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use FOIL when multiplying 2 binomials...

FOIL is Firsts, Outsides, Insides, Lasts.  It's the order in which you multiply the numbers in the binomials...

(2x - 1)(6x - 7)    

Firsts:  (2x)(6x) = 12x²

Outsides:  (2x)(-7) = -14x

Insides:  (-1)(6x) = -6x

Lasts:  (-1)(-7) = 7

Now add them up...

12x² - 14x - 6x + 7

    12x² - 20x + 7

Select the function that represents the simple interest formula.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

D. A(n) = P + (n-1)i*P

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the simple interest is:

SI = \frac{Pnr}{100}

Replace i by \frac{r}{100}, then

SI = Pni

where n is the number of years.

So, for n-1 years, the simple interest is:

SI = P(n-1)*i

The Total amount is:

A(n) = P + (n-1)i*P
