Answer: The first number is 4

Explanation: Since the sum of the two numbers is ten, x + y = 10

Also, since the difference of the two numbers is two, then x - y = 2

Since x - y = 2, another way to write that is x = y + 2 and since x is exactly the same as y + 2, we can plug in "y + 2" in place of x in the first equation (x + y = 10) to get (y + 2) + y = 10. Then we solve this equation by combining like-terms.

2y + 2 = 10

2y = 8

y = 4

Since x = y + 2, x = 4 + 2 or x = 6

I hope this helped you!

Answer:

x = -7

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 2

x - y = -16

substitute '2-x' for 'y'

x - (2-x) = -16

x - 2 + x = -16

2x - 2 = -16

2x = -14

x = -7

-7 + y = 2

y = 9

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 and one half
OLga [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 mi = 2 and 1/4 min

In 43 minutes:

43 ÷ 2.15 = 20             2.15 = 2 and 1/4 min

Now you have to multiply 1.5 by 20

1.5 x 20 = 30

In 1 hour (60 minutes):

60 ÷ 2.15 = 27.9

Now you have to multiply 1.5 by 27.9

1.5 x 27.9 = 41.85

Hope this was helpful :)

The ratio of the number of fiction book is 9:4, the different between the number of fiction and non fiction is 245
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of fiction books is 9:4

 the difference between the number of fiction and nonfictionn is 245

so if the number of fiction books = 9x

then the number of nonfiction books = 4x

then difference = 9x-4x = 5x

the difference is given 245

then 5x= 245

x=\frac{245}{5}=49

number of fiction books =49×9=441

number of nonfiction books =49×4=196

Determine the truth value of each of these statements if thedomainofeachvariableconsistsofallrealnumbers.
hoa [83]

Answer:

a)TRUE

b)FALSE

c)TRUE

d)FALSE

e)TRUE

f)TRUE

g)TRUE

h)FALSE

i)FALSE

j)TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For every x there is y such that  x^2=y:

 TRUE

This statement is true, because for every real number there is a square         number of that number, and that square number is also a real number. For example, if we take 6.5, there is a square of that number and it equals 39.0625.

b) For every x there is y such that  x=y^2:

 FALSE

For example, if x = -1, there is no such real number so that its square equals -1.

c) There is x for every y such that xy = 0

 TRUE

If we put x = 0, then for every y it will be xy=0*y=0

d)There are x and y such that x+y\neq y+x

 FALSE

There are no such numbers. If we rewrite the equation we obtain an incorrect statement:

                                   x+y \neq y+x\\x+y - y-y\neq 0\\0\neq 0

e)For every x, if   x \neq 0  there is y such that xy=1:

 TRUE

The statement is true. If we have a number x, then multiplying x with 1/x (Since x is not equal to 0 we can do this for ever real number) gives 1 as a result.

f)There is x for every y such that if y\neq 0 then xy=1.

TRUE

The statement is equivalent to the statement in e)

g)For every x there is y such that x+y = 1

TRUE

The statement says that for every real number x there is a real number y such that x+y = 1, i.e. y = 1-x

So, the statement says that for every real umber there is a real number that is equal to 1-that number

h) There are x and y such that

                                  x+2y = 2\\2x+4y = 5

We have to solve this system of equations.

From the first equation it yields x=2-2y and inserting that into the second equation we have:

                                   2(2-2y)+4y=5\\4-4y+4y=5\\4=5

Which is obviously false statement, so there are no such x and y that satisfy the equations.

FALSE

i)For every x there is y such that

                                     x+y=2\\2x-y=1

We have to solve this system of equations.

From the first equation it yields x=2-y  and inserting that into the second equation we obtain:

                                        2(2-y)-y=1\\4-2y-y=1\\4-3y=1\\-3y=1-4\\-3y=-3\\y=1

Inserting that back to the first equation we obtain

                                            x=2-1\\x=1

So, there is an unique solution to this equations:

x=1 and y=1

The statement is FALSE, because only for x=1 (and not for every x) exists y (y=1) such that

                                         x+y=2\\2x-y=1

j)For every x and y there is a z such that

                                      z=\frac{x+y}{2}

TRUE

The statament is true for all real numbers, we can always find such z. z is a number that is halway from x and from y.
