Answer:
22 and 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the two numbers we are looking for:
The statement “their sum is 29” means x + y = 29
The statement “their difference is 15” means x - y = 15
we get this system:
x + y = 29 (1)
x - y = 15 (2)
Let’s solve it :
(1) + (2) ⇒ x + y + x - y = 29 + 15 ⇒ 2x = 44 ⇒ x = 44/2 = 22
Now we replace x by 22 in equation (1) :
22 + y = 29 ⇒ y = 29 - 22 = 7
-13.5914091423 is what I got from a calculator.
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+1= 4x+(-4)
-4×+1= -4x-1 combine like terms
-1x= -5 divided by -1
x= 5
