Answer:

x-y=2

I don't get why they are asking you what is 2-5. That seems super basic compared to the other question it is with. Since 5-2=3, then 2-5 or -5+2=-3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use identity x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y)

x^2-y^2=10

(x-y)(x+y)=10

(x-y)(5)=10

Since (2)(5)=10, this implies x-y=2.

What is the answer? #16 . thanks

If I got it correctly, the question is what is 24x^2y^6-16x^6y^2+4xy^2 divided by 4xy^2 and the answer is 6xy^4-4x^5+1.

Can someone plzzz help me with this math practice paper

Answer:

45 degrees for 8

135 degrees for 9

48 for 10

Yes a square is a rectangle

Next ones.

Sut = 21 becuase x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Last one:

x^2 + 8 = 3x + 36

- 8 - 8

x^2 = 3x + 28

-3x -3x

x^2 - 3x = 28

(x · x) - 3x = 28.

This was were a little guess work was used,

I found that any number lower than 7 is less than 28 when pluged into x and any above is higher.

Hence x = 7

x^2 + 8 = 7^2 + 8

7 x 7 = 49. 49 + 8 = 57.

and

3x+36 = 7 x 3 + 36

7x3 = 21. 21 + 36 = 57.

Both lines are equal so x is indeed 7.

The RSTU rectangle

3x+6 = 5x-4

+4 +4

3x+10 = 5x

-3x -3x

10 = 2x

10/2 = 5

5 = x or x = 5

plug it in now

3 x 5 = 15. 15 + 6 = 21

and

5 x 5 = 25. 25 - 4 = 21

so x = 5

8-10

QRS = 45 degrees because bisects the square with a diagonal line from corner to corner

PTQ is a 135 degrees because it is wider than a 90 degrees angle and meets both upper corner from the middle of the square making it 135 degrees.

SQ = 48 because RT = 24 and RT is half the length of SQ meaning its length would be 48

SQ= 24 degrees because RT = 24 and if RT was to continue on the line it is on it will reach the length of SQ.
