When we write out the system of equations, we will get:

x+y=18

x-y=8

 We can then use elimination to get just one variable.

 x+y=18

+x-y=  8

 Which gives us:   2x=26

 We then divide by 2 and get:    x=13

 We next plug that into one of the two equations and solve for the other variable:    (13)+y=18

We subtract 13 from both sides and get:   y=5

So the two numbers are 13 and 5.

Answer:

(0, 2 ) and (- \frac{4}{3}, \frac{2}{9} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x² + 4x - y = - 2 → (1)

x² + y = 2 → (2)

subtract x² from both sides in (2)

y = 2 - x² → (3)

Substitute y = 2 - x² into (1)

2x² + 4x - (2 - x²) = - 2

2x² + 4x - 2 + x² = - 2

3x² + 4x - 2 = - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

3x² + 4x = 0 ← in standard form

x(3x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

3x + 4 = 0 ⇒ 3x = - 4 ⇒ x = - \frac{4}{3}

Substitute these values into (3) for corresponding values of y

x = 0 : y = 2 - 0² = 2 - 0 = 2 ⇒ (0, 2)

x = - \frac{4}{3} : y = 2 - (- \frac{4}{3} )² = 2 - \frac{16}{9} = \frac{2}{9} ⇒ ( - \frac{4}{3}, \frac{2}{9} )

(4/5)x - 8 = (5/3)x - 7 Find x
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

-15/13

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5x - 8 = 5/3x - 7

4x - 40 = 25/3x - 35

12x - 120 = 25x - 105

-13x = 15

x = -15/13

A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola y=7-x^2 .
Nady [450]
If the base is on the x-axis, the width of the rectangle is = xif the height is based on the parabola, the length = 7-x^2
the area of a rectangle = length * width
thus, area = x*(7-x^2)= 7x-x^3
in order to maximize the area, you would need to take the derivative of the area and set it equal to 0
Area = 7x-x^3Area' = 7 - 3x^2
7-3x^2 = 0thus, x = 1.5275
this x represents the x needed to create the largest possible area with the given parameters.
Thus:Width (x-axis) = 1.5275Length (y-axis) = 7 - (1.5275)^2 = 4.6667
