Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+2b= 86 cm

a²+b²= 386 cm²

a+b=?

----------

  • 4a+2b= 86  
  • 2a+b= 43
  • (2a+b)²=43²
  • 4a²+4ab+b²=1849

b²= 386- a², b= 43- 2a

  • 4a²+4a(43-2a)+386-a²-1849=0
  • 4a²+172a-8a²-a²-1463=0
  • -5a²+172a-1463=0
  • 5a²-172a+1463=0

solving quadratic equation we get

a=19 - integer solution

b= 43-2*19= 5

a+b=19+5=24

The difference between a number and 8 is 11
quester [9]

Answer:

The difference between 19 and 8 is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The difference between a number and 8 is 11

Find the number.

Solution:

Let the unknown number be =x

The difference between the unknown number can be written as:

x-8

We are given that the difference =11

So we can write the equation to find x as :

x-8=11

Using additive property to solve for x

Adding 8 to both sides to isolate x on one side.

x-8+8=11+8

∴ x=19

∴ The unknown number = 19
