They give us 2 pieces to the puzzle. Both are positive numbers...x and y.
1.) 1 number is 1 less than twice another number. (x = 2y -1)...and
2.) the sum of their squares is 106. (x^2 + y^2 = 106).
substitute the value for x into the second equation.
(2y-1)^2 + y^2 = 106
(2y-1) (2y-1) + y^2 = 106 (use distributive property)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 = 106 (subtract 106 from both sides)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 - 106 = 106 - 106 (combine like terms)
5y^2 - 4y - 105 = 0 (factor)
(y-5) (5y-21) = 0 (set to 0)
y - 5 = 0
y = 5
substitute the 5 into the equation for y (x = 2(5) - 1)
x = 9 if we square 9, we get 81.
subtracted from 106 we have 25...the square root of 25 is 5.
our answers are 5 and 9.
Answer:
You are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 8 < 23
<em>Add 8 to both sides</em>
x - 8 + 8 < 23 + 8
<em>Simplify</em>
x < 31
Yes, you are correct.
Answer:
Yes. Her solution is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's check if Jenna solution is correct:
To solve the equation 2x^2 +5x - 42 = 0, we can use Bhaskara's formula:
D = b^2 - 4ac = 25 + 4*2*42 = 25+336 = 361
sqrt(D) = 19
x1 = (-5 + 19)/4 = 14/4 = 7/2
x2 = (-5 - 19)/4 = -24/4 = -6
We must agree with Jenna's solution, because the values she found as solution are correct: with we replace these values of x in the equation, we will find 0 = 0, which is correct and proves that these values are the solution of the equation.
Answer:
-8/46
Step-by-step explanation:
slope is the change of y over the change in x
-5 - 3 divided by 44 - (-2)
-8/46
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
You can only have the same denominator
Example:
2 3 5
- + - = -
9 9 9
