The answer is 8/17 because you have to change the fractions to improper fractions then change the division sign to a multiplication sign. Then change the second fraction by flipping the two numbers then multiply and reduce.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
y = x² + 3x - 29 ------ (i)
y = 2x - 9 ---------------- (ii)
Now to solve this problem, we must determine the value of x and y;
Equate equations 1 and 2;
x² + 3x - 29 = 2x - 9
x² + 3x - 2x - 29 + 9 = 0
x² + x - 20 = 0
x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = 0
x(x + 5 ) - 4(x + 5) = 0
(x - 4) (x+ 5) = 0
x - 4 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
x = 4 or x = -5;
So; solve for y now;
y = 2x - 9
input x = 4 or x = -5;
y = 2(4) - 9 or y = 2(-5) - 9
y = -1 or y = -19
Let the two numbers be x and y.
x + y = 86
+
x - y = 12
_________
2x + 0 = 98
__________
2x = 98
x = 98/2
x = 49
From x + y = 86
49 + y = 86
y = 86 - 49
y = 37
The numbers are 49 and 37.
