Answer:
a) x^2 + y^2
b) 9-xy
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to write the algebraic statements as expressions;
a) The sum of the squares of x and y
The square of x is x^2
The square of y is y^2
The sum of the squares is x^2 + y^2
ii) Product of x and y subtracted from 9
The product of x and y is x * y = xy
Subtracting these from 9, we have;
9-xy
If you imagine it like the picture below, you could use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 4x + 1 = 8x - 51
2. 4x = 8x - 52
3. -4x = -52
4. x = 13
Answer: x = 13/5
Explanation:
(x+4)/(3x+1) = 3/4
Cross multiply:
4(x+4) = 3(3x+1)
4x + 16 = 9x + 3
4x - 9x = 3 - 16
-5x = -13
x = -13/-5
x = 13/5
