Answer:

x = 7

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5 = 5y - 4 (sides of an equilateral ∆)

3x - 5y = 5 - 4

3x - 5y = 1 ----› Eqn. 1

3x - 5 = y + 12 (sides of an isosceles ∆)

3x - y = 5 + 12

3x - y = 17 ---› Eqn. 2.

Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 1.

3x - 5y = 1 ----› Eqn. 1

3x - y = 17 ---› Eqn. 2.

-4y = -16

Divide both sides by -4

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into eqn. 2

3x - y = 17 ---› Eqn. 2.

3x - 4 = 17

3x = 17 + 4

3x = 21

Divide both sides by 3

x = 7

If one of the roots of the equation x²- 4x + k=0exceeds the other by 2, then find the roots and determine the value of k
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

roots: 1 and 3

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 roots: p and p+2

(x-p) (x-p-2) = x² - 4x + k

x² -2px -2x + p² + 2p = x² - 2 (p+1)x + (p² + 2p) = x² -4x + k

-2 (p+1) = -4

p+1 = 2

p = 1   ... root 1

p' = 1+2 = 3   ... root 2

k = p² + 2p = 3

check: (x-1) (x-3) = x² - 4x + 3 = x² - 4x + k
