A number consists of two digits. The number is 2 more than 8 times the sum of the digits, and if 54 is subtracted from the numbe

Gennadij [26K]

Let the units digit = x

Let the 10s digit = y

Equations

10y + x - 2 = 8 * (x + y) (1)

10y + x - 54 = 10x + y (2)

Equation 1

10y + x - 2 = 8 * (x + y) Remove the brackets on the right

10y + x - 2 = 8x + 8y Subtract 8y from both sides

10y - 8y + x - 2 = 8x Subtract 8x from both sides

2y + x - 8x - 2 = 0 Combine

2y - 7x - 2 = 0 (3)

Equation 2

10y + x - 54 = 10x + y Subtract 10x

10y - 9x - 54 = y Subtract y from both sides.

9y - 9x - 54 = 0 Divide by 9

y - x - 6 = 0 Multiply by 2

2y - 2x - 12 = 0 (4)

Solution

Subtract (3) - (4)

2y - 7x - 2 = 0

2y - 2x - 12 = 0

- 5x + 10 = 0 Subtract 10 from both sides.

- 5x = - 10 Divide by - 5

x = 2

Use (4) to find y

2y - 2x - 12 = 0 Let x =2

2y - 2(2) - 12 = 0 Remove the brackets

2y - 4 - 12 = 0 Combine

2y - 16 = 0 Add 16 to both sides.

2y = 16 Divide by 2

y = 8

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches longer then twice its width, where w is the width of the rectangle the area of the rectang

vaieri [72.5K]

A = w(2w + 3)
90 = 2w^2 + 3w
2w^2 +3w - 90 = 0
(w-6)(2w+15) = 0 (TRINOMIAL FACTORING)
w = 6 inch ( it can't be -15/2 because lengths can't be negative)
l = 2w + 3
= 15 inch
