Find the two numbers whose sum is 29 and whose difference is 5.

Answer:

17 & 12.

Explanation:

It takes more time to add each number separately until you find it, so many look to using x & y to help.

Remember:

Sum = 29

x + y = 29

Difference = 5

x - y = 5

Let's divide by 2 for each equation, to find the answer.

29 + 5 / 2 = 17

29 - 5 / 2 = 12

And there you go!

<u>P.S I had to get some online help for this one, but I learned how to do it now too. :)</u>

Answer:

17 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=29

x-y=5

2x=34

x=34/2

x=17

17+y=29

29-17=y

12=y

17-y=5

17-5=y

12=y

Julli [10]

Answer:

  Each bouquet included 2 foil balloons and 8 latex balloons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f represent the number of foil balloons in each bouquet. Then 10-f is the number of latex balloons. The problem statement tells us the cost of all of the bouquets is ...

  18(1.94f +0.17(10-f)) = 94.32

We can divide by 18 to get ...

  1.94f +1.70 -0.17f = 5.24

  1.77f = 3.54 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1.70

  f = 3.54/1.77 = 2 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of f

The number of latex balloons is 10-2 = 8.

Each bouquet included 2 foil and 8 latex balloons.

Solve for substitution 8x+2y=13 and 4x+y=11
damaskus [11]
Solving for X:
1) y=-8x+6.5   y=-4x+11
2) -8x+6.5=-4x+11
3) -8x=-4x+11-6.5        (Subtract 6.5 from both sides)
4) -8x+4x=11-6.5         (Add 4x to both sides)
5)-4x=4.5
5)x=-1.125

Solving for Y:
y=-8(-1.125)+6.5
y=9+6.5
y=15.5

y=-4(-1.125)+11
y=4.5+11
y=15.5

x=-1.125
y=15.5
or
(-1.125,15.5)

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 69. What are the three numbers?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

21, 23, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so this one may seem a little tricky, so I'll try to explain it as best as I can. :)

So because they are consecutive odd numbers, that means they are odd numbers that are one after the other. This means each number is 2 apart from the next. So by using this, we know that there is a difference of 6 between the highest and lowest number. Now let's try and make an equation:

3o + 6 = 69

Now in order to get O by itself we have to subtract 6 from both sides:

3o = 63

Now we just have to divide by three on both sides:

o = 21

So now, we know that the lowest number is 21, but we have to add 2 to get 23, and then another 2 to get 25.

Hope this helps :)
