Answer:

please mark me as brainliest answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 17 and their difference is 5. What are the two numbers? Let's start by calling the two numbers we are looking for x and y.

The sum of x and y is 17. In other words, x plus y equals 17 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 17

The difference between x and y is 5. In other words, x minus y equals 5 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = 5

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x - y = 5

x = 5 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 17

5 + y + y = 17

5 + 2y = 17

2y = 12

y = 6

Now we know y is 6. Which means that we can substitute y for 6 in equation A and solve for x:

x + y = 17

x + 6 = 17

X = 11

Summary: The sum of two numbers is 17 and their difference is 5. What are the two numbers? Answer: 11 and 6 as proven here:

Sum: 11 + 6 = 17

Difference: 11 - 6 = 5

Find the area to the nearest square foot of the shaded region below, consisting of a square with a circle cut out of it. Use
Simora [160]

Answer:

the area is 10 feet by 10 feet, 100 feet²

subtract the area of the circle from this.

you get it by A = r² * pi

so 5² * 3.14159...

=78.5398163397

100-78.5398163397

is roughly 21.46 square feet

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. There are twice as many women then there are men. There are 6 more child
weqwewe [10]

Answer: 16 men

32 women

38 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of men in the group.

Let y represent the number if women in the group.

Let z represent the number of children in the group.

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that

x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that

x = y/2

There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that

z = y + 6

Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86

multiplying through by 2, it becomes

y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172

5y = 172 - 12 = 160

y = 160/5 = 32

x = y/2 = 32/2

x = 16

z = y + 6 = 32 + 6

z = 38
