Answer:

-2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call our other expression y, we can set up an equation tying together 3x + 5, y, and 5x - 7:

$(5x-7)+y=3x+5$

Solving for y by subtracting 5x - 7 from both sides will get us the expression we're looking for:

$y=3x+5-(5x-7)\\y=3x+5-5x+7\\y=-2x+12$

So the other expression in the sum is -2x + 12.

Help with graph question

Gala2k [10]

The first thing we are going to do to graph our equation is solve them for $y$ :
For our first equation:
$4x-5y=50$
$-5y=20-4x$
$y= \frac{4}{5} x-4$
For our second equation:
$3x+y=-4$
$y=-3x-4$

Now, we just need to use the graphing utility to graph our equations:
$y= \frac{4}{5} x-4$
$y=-3x-4$

We can conclude that the graph of the equations is:

one number is equal to the square of another. find the numbers if both are positive and their sum is 1122

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

One number is 561

The other number is 23.6854

Step-by-step explanation:

x = y^2 One number = the square of another

x + y^2 = 1122 The sum of the two numbers is 1122

Substitute y^2 in for x on the second equation.

y^2 + y^2 = 1122 Combine like terms on the left

2y^2 = 1122 Divide by 2

y^2 = 1122/2

y^2 = 561 Take the square root of both sides.

y = 23.6854

x = y^2

x = 561

y^2 = 561
