Answer:

You can try to write two equation from the question

Call x a number and y the other.

The sum of them is 44: x + y = 44

The difference (substract) is 2: x - y = 2

System:

x+y=44

x-y = 2

You can just sum both equations, as the y disappear:

2x = 46

x =46/ 2 = 23

We replace in the equation:

23 - y = 2

y = 21

And we know the numbers are 21 and 23

Answer:

21 & 23

44 ÷ 2 = 22

The two numbers are going to be close to 22.

21 + 23 = 44

32 - 21 = 2

5x+3y-z-4x-3y-z help please ​
damaskus [11]

The simplified version of this x-2z

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to start by combining like terms. You can start with the terms that have the variable x in them. By combining those terms, the equation becomes x+3y-z-3y-z.

From here, you can combine the terms 3y and -3y, which bring the equation to x-z-z.

From here, combine the terms with the variable z. This would bring the equation down too x-2z, your final answer.

4 2/3 divided by 1/2
ycow [4]

Answer:

9 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make 4 2/3 into a improper fraction

4 2/3= 14/3

2. Keep, change, flip

14/3 x 2/1

3. Multiply

14/3 x 2/1= 28/3

4. Simplify

28/3= 9 1/3

(btw keep, change, flip basically means to keep the first fraction the way it is, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, then flip the second fraction so the original denominator is the new numerator, and vise versa.)
