Answer:
Yes, I believe that is correct. I may be wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=larger no
y= smaller no
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=7--------(1)
x=16 + 2y------(2)
(2)--->(1)
16+2y+y = 7
3y + 16 = 7
3y = -9
y = -3//
so x=10
Answer: The answer is 8.
Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;
Y^2 - 40.
Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,
Y^2 - 40 = 3Y
If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,
Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0
(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)
We now have a quadratic equation
Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0
By factorizing we now have
(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0
Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or
Y + 5 = 0
Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5
Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
The quotient of x and 3 is 13.
x/3 = 13
Multiply both sides by 3.
x = 13 × 3
x = 39
