Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first sentence x (the number) is 2 more than another number (y). So, x+2=y. The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 42, meaning that \\ (x+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42. First, we square root the ENTIRE equation to get rid of the square. If you do one thing to one side, you have to do it to the other. After this, we have x+2+y=\sqrt{42}. Now, we subtract 2 from the other side to isolate the variable. You can isolate either one but normally I go for x. Now we have x+y=\sqrt{42}+2. Now, we want to get y to the other side so we subtract it from the left side and the right side which gives us x=-y+\sqrt{42}+2. now we know what X is equal to. Now we plug in x for \\ (x+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42, which gives us          (-y+\sqrt42}+2+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42. Now we only have one variable which is what we want. Next, we square root the entire thing to get rid of the squares, which gives us -y+\sqrt{42}+4+y=\sqrt{42}. I got lost in my work. I must have done something wrong I cant find out. If anyone wants to pick up where I left off go ahead but there's a timer and I have one minute left. I cant finish the problem in a minute. I'm sorry and hopefully I lead you somewhere.

What is the value of x in 34 + 2x = 40
alekssr [168]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

3

Discussion:

34           + 2x = 40             => subtract 34 from both sides

(34-34)   + 2x = 40 - 34     => as (34-34) = 0 and 40-34 = 6

2x                   = 6               => divide both sides by 2

x = 6/2 = 3

Check the answer:

Does 34 + 2x = 40 if x = 3 ?

Does 34 + 2(3) = 40 ?

Does 34 + 6      = 40 ?  YES! so the answer checks.

Thank you,

MrB

Vadim26 [7]

An equation of Hamid’s revenue by multiplying the book price by the number of copies sold is  x = ny.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

The process of equating one thing with another.

Let Hamid’s revenue is $x and the price of book is $y.

If he sold n number of copies.

Then, the general equation will be x = n * y.

Therefore, an equation of Hamid's revenue will be x = ny.
