Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
D² = ( x2 - x1 )² + ( y2 - y1 )²
= [ (-18) - (-18) ]² + [ (-1) - (-6) ]²
= ( -1 + 6 )²
D² = ( 5 )²
hence, D = 5
Answer:
x+7 ≤ 20
Just take it step by step:
seven more than a number is a number plus 7 (x+7)- keep in mind we dont know what the number is so we use x to represent the number.
it then says it's equal to at most 20.
This means that it cant equal anything above 20 since 20 is the max. Therefore, it must be 20 and below that x+7 equals
x+7≤ 20
≤ -this symbol means less than or equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
27 and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this problem as a system of equations. X is the first number and Y is the second number.
The first equation is x+y = 50 and the second equation is x-y=4
Now we solve the system, using elimination method:
x+y=50
x-y=4
2x = 54
x = 54/2
x = 27
And from any of the equations we can find Y
27 + y = 50
y = 50 - 27
y = 23
Let's call the two numbers
and
.
Given these variables, we can say:
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

To solve, we can simply substitute
in for
in the second equation and solve.


- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition


- Cross multiplication (
)


- Subtract
from both sides of the equation

- Factor left side of the equation

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since
is not positive in this case,
is not a solution.
Thus,
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
