x and y

x=2y+9

x-y=22

*x is the larger number*

plug in x to solve for y

2y+9-y=22

y+9=22

-9 both sides

y=13

plug in y and solve for X

x=2 (13)+9

x=26+9

x=35

If x/y + y/x = -1 , find the value of x^3 - y^3

marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the first equation by xy, we have ...

x^2 +y^2 = -xy

Factoring the expression of interest, we have ...

x^3 -y^3 = (x -y)(x^2 +xy +y^2)

Substituting for xy using the first expression we found, this is ...

x^3 -y^3 = (x -y)(x^2 -(x^2 +y^2) +y^2) = (x -y)(0) = 0

The value of x^3 -y^3 is 0.
