Let the two numbers be x and y. The sum of x and y is 14 and the difference is 20. We can write a system of equations and solve:

x-y=20 \\
x+y=14 \\
2x=34 \\
x=17

Then substitute x back into one of the equations to find y:

x+y=14 \\
17+y=14 \\
y=-3

So the two numbers are 17 and -3

Answer:

please, check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

using the graph of a function you can find the value of f (x), all you need to do is locate on the x axis, the value, in this case 3, and we will find f (3), locate the number (3 ) on the x-axis and see what is the value of y that the function takes at that point, that will be the value f (3)

I hope it helps , Have a nice day

The quotient of-54 and 9, subtracted from 8 times a number, is-18
AysviL [449]
The number is:  " -3 " .
_____________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________
Let "x" be the "unknown number" for which we are to solve.

        8x − (-54/9) = -18 ;  Solve for "x" ; 

  →  8x  − (-6) = - 18 ;

  →  8x + 6 = - 18 ;

   Subtract "6" from each side of the equation:

  →  8x + 6 − 6  =  - 18 <span>− 6 ;

to get:   8x =  -24 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "x" ; 

              8x / 8 = -24 / 8 ;

to get:   x = -3 .

The number is:  " -3 " .

Y = 5x - 10<br> Can you solve for x
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{5}y + 2     or       x = \frac{y+10}{5}     (Not sure which one is preferred in your case)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Evaluating expressions</u>

1) We are given: y = 5x-10

2) To solve for the x variable, we want to leave the term with "x" by itself.

This means we add 10 to both sides

--> y + 10 = 5x (Since -10 and +10 cancel out to make 0 or nothing)

3) Then we divide by 5 on both sides to get "x" completely by itself.

-----> \frac{y+10}{5} = x

4) You can keep it as is so --> x = \frac{y + 10}{5}

or you can divide "y" by 5 and "10" by 5 and get --> x = \frac{1}{5} y + 2

(I am not sure which form is preferred one is preferred as the teacher matters)

<em>Hope you understood and have a nice day!!</em>
