Answer:

x = 17     y= -38

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -21

y = x - 55

It doesn't matter whether x or y is 55 less than the other right now.

<u>substitute for y:</u>

x + x - 55 = -21

<u>solve for x:</u>

2x = 34

x = 17

<u>solve for y:</u>

17 + y = -21

y = -38

Problem in image. Explain it too.
alexandr1967 [171]

\sqrt{40}  = 6.32\\\\\\or\\5\sqrt{15} \\\\

this is because when 40 is broken down into two numbers (one divisible to get out of the square root, and one not) you get 25 + 15 under the square root. we know that the square root of 25 is 5, so we can put 5 outside the root and leave 15 inside.

-------------- try the next problem, and if you don't understand, please reply back.

answer is for a) 5\sqrt{15}
