Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Mark is M and his brother is B.

M+5=B

M+B=23

Now we can solve using subsitution.

M+M+5=23

(Subtract 5 from both sides)

2M=18

M=9

Hope this helped!

Malik collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps. He has 34 more domestic stamps than foreign stamps. Let x represent th

Effectus [21]

Answer:

y = 89 x = 123

Step-by-step explanation:

since they're both in standard form, its easier to do the process of elimination

x - y = 34

-x -y -212

------------------

-2y = -178

y = 89

now plug in y to any one of those two equations

x - y = 34

x - 89 = 34

x = 123

to check:

x + y = 212

123 + 89 = 212

212 = 212

a square garden has a diagonal of 12 m. What is the perimeter of the garden? Express in simplest radical form

lianna [129]

Answer:

The perimeter of the garden, in meters, is $24\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal of a square:

The diagonal of a square is found applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

The diagonal of the square is the hypothenuse, while we have two sides.

Diagonal of 12m:

This means that $d = 12$ , side s. So

$s^2 + s^2 = 12^2$

$2s^2 = 144$

$s^2 = \frac{144}{2}$

$s^2 = 72$

$s = \sqrt{72}$

Factoring 72:

Factoring 72 into prime factors, we have that:

72|2

36|2

18|2

9|3

3|3

$72 = 2^{3}*3^{2}$

So, in simplest radical form:

$s = \sqrt{72} = \sqrt{2^{3}*3^{2}} = \sqrt{2^3}*\sqrt{3^2} = 2\sqrt{2}*3 = 6\sqrt{2}$

Perimeter of the garden:

The perimeter of a square with side of s units is given by:

$P = 4s$

In this question, since $s = 6\sqrt{2}$

$P = 4s = 4*6\sqrt{2} = 24\sqrt{2}$

The perimeter of the garden, in meters, is $24\sqrt{2}$

STEP
1
:
Pulling out like terms

Pull out like factors :

32 - 2x = -2 • (x - 16)

STEP
2
:

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : -2 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x-16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides of the equation :
x = 16
