Answer:

7 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y , x > y , then

x = y + 6 → (1)

\frac{1}{4} (x + y) = y - 2 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )

x + y = 4y - 8 ( subtract 4y from both sides )

x - 3y = - 8 → (2)

Substitute x = y + 6 into (2)

y + 6 - 3y = - 8

- 2y + 6 = - 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2y = - 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = 7

Substitute y = 7 into (1)

x = 7 + 6 = 13

The 2 numbers are 7 and 13

Answer:

a = 3

b = 2

c = 0

d = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Form 4 equations and solve simultaneously

28 = a(2)³ + b(2)² + c(2) + d

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)

-5 = -a + b - c + d (2)

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d (4)

(1) + (4)

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d

8 = 8b + 2d

d = 4 - 4b

Equation (2)

c = -a + b + d + 5

c = -a + b + 4 - 4b+ 5

c = -a - 3b + 9

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)

28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

28 = 6a - 6b + 22

6a - 6b = 6

a - b = 1

a = b + 1

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)

220 = 64(b + 1) + 16b + 4(-b - 1 - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

220 = 60b + 100

60b = 120

b = 2

a = 2 + 1

a = 3

c = -3 - 3(2) + 9

c = 0

d = 4 - 4(2)

d = -4

Answer:X=5/6 Y=8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x +5y=3

+6x

5y=6x+3 (divide each number by 5)

Y=6/5x + 3/5 (Plug that into your x equation)

12x+15 (6/5x + 3/5) =34

(Multiply 15 by the numbers in the brackets you can break it down and do 15•6 divided by 5 )

15•6=90 divided by 5=18x

15•3= 45 divided by 5=9

(Add like variables)

12x+18x=30x

30x+9=34

(Subtract 9 from itself do the same to 34)

9-9= 0

34-9=25

Divide 30 by itself to get x by itself then divide 25 by 30

25 divided by 30= 5/6

X=5/6 (plug that into the y equation)

Y=6/5•5/6+3/5

Multiply 6/5 and 5/6 straight across because this is multiplication you don't need like denominators

6/5•5/6=30/30=1

Y=1+3/5

1/1 + 3/5

Here you need to have like denominators because it is addition so just use 5

5•1=5

5/5+3/5=8/5

Y=8/5

Help me solve for z, step by step if you can
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

z=6

Step-by-step explanation:

z/3 + 1/2 = 5/2

Subtract 1/2 from each side

z/3 + 1/2-1/2 = 5/2-1/2

z/3 = 4/2

z/3 =2

Multiply each side by 3

z/3*3 = 2*3

z = 6
