So, 6/7*56/1
56*6/7
336/7
the answer is 48
y = 6 - 3x
x + y = 62
Since we already know the value of y, we can use substitution to find the value of x.
x + 6 - 3x = 62
<em><u>Subtract 6 from both sides.</u></em>
x - 3x = 56
<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>
-2x = 56
<em><u>Divide both sides by -2</u></em>
x = -28
Now that we know the value of x, we can solve for the value of y.
x + y = 62
-28 + y = 62
<em><u>Add 28 to both sides</u></em>
y = 90
The value of y is 90, and the value of x is -28 (this is your answer)
To make sure that these values are correct, we can plug them into the original equations.
y = 6 - 3x
x + y = 62
90 = 6 - 3(-28)
90 = 90 √ this is correct
-28 + 90 = 62
62 = 62 √ this is also correct
Answer:
5 and 5 is the lowest answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on what I'm assuming from that cryptic question, I assume you are looking for two numbers that add up to 10, but have the smallest sum when they are squared and added.
So I would start with 5 and 5, because they have the best chance.
If you do anything like 3 + 7,
You will get an answer of 49 + 9, which is rather high.
2 and 8 gives you 4 + 64, which is worse.
4 and 6 gives you 16 and 36, which add to 52, which is better.
5 and 5 gives you 25 and 25, which is 50, the best choice.
