Answer:
13. 16+16-16+16x = 16+16x
This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y.
We are told that X + Y = 59
We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59 [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59 [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50 [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10 [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
<u><em>49=X and 10=Y</em></u>
Get everything on one side:
. Now we can factor to find the solutions. What we ask ourselves here is "What 2 numbers will add to be +4 and multiply to be -21?" +7 and -3 work because 7-3 = 4 and 7 * -3 = -21. So our factors are (x+7)(x-3). Our solutions, however, are found using the Zero Product Property. If x + 7 = 0, then x = -7. If x - 3 = 0, then x = 3. So our solutions are x = -7 and x = 3.
