Answer:

Given:

a + b = 9

=> a = 9 - b

Given:

a x b = 18

=> (9 - b) x b = 18

=> 9b - b^2 = 18

=> b^2 - 9b + 18 = 0

=> (b - 3)(b - 6) = 0

=> b = 3 => a = 6

=> b = 6 => a = 3

Hope this helps

Answer:

$45 after the discount

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion.

$\frac{x}{50} = \frac{10}{100}$ $50 is the total amount and make the 10% a decimal

x(100) = 50(10)

100 = 500

100 ÷ 500

x = 5 <-- We have to subtract this amount from the total

$50 - $5 = $45 <-- total after the discount
