Amy: (3 pages/min)(x min) + 9 pages
Sam: (2 pages/min)(x min) + 47 pages
Equate these: 3x+9 = 2x + 47
Then x = 38. The two friends will have covered the same number of pages after 38 minutes. How many pages would that be? 3(38)+9 = 123 pages.
To answer this question we will have to understand the nature of
.
can be rewritten as:
. Now,
is an irrational number and thus any of the four operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction or division placed anywhere between any of these terms will always result in an irrational number.
The only way irrational numbers can be made rational is by dividing or multiplying the given irrational number by the same irrational number.
Answer: -4 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you mean x squared in the first equation
Because both are equal to y, they are equal to each other so x + 5 = x^2 +3
If we then move everything over to one side, we get x^2 - x - 2 = 0
Then factorise it to (x-2)(x+1) = 0
And solve both parts separately
x + 1 = 0
x = -1
x-2 = 0
x = 2
Sub both values into the simplest equation in this case y=x+5
to get y = 4 and y = 7
