Answer:

Let get large number is x and small number as y.

sum of two numbers is 51.(small number + large number = 51)

ie. x +y =51 --------(1)

The smaller number is 17 less than the larger number.

x-y = 17 ------------(2)

(1) +(2);

(x + y ) + (x - y) = 51 +17

2x = 68

x=34

Substituted for (1);

x + y =51

34 + y =51

y= 51  -34

y= 17

Answer:

smaller number = 17, larger number = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number and y be the larger nuber

x + y = 51 --(1)

y - 17 = x  --(2)

Sub (2) into (1)

y - 17 + y = 51

y = 34

Put y = 34 into (2)

34 - 17 = x

x = 17

Ans: smaller number = 17, larger number = 34

rectangle A has a length of 24 meters and a width of 20 meters. rectangle B has the same area as rectangle A. the width of recta
blagie [28]
To solve this, first we'll find the area of the rectangle A,

Area=length × width
?=24m×20m
480m=24m×20m
480m squared=area of the rectangle A

now we'll find the width of rectangle B,
"the width of rectangle B is 12 meters less than the width of rectangle A",
20m-12m= 8m
8m=width of rectangle B

finally we'll find the length of rectangle B,
area of the rectangle B= 480msquared
width= 8m
length=? (to find this divide the area by the width)
480÷8=60m
length of the rectangle B=60m

Which of the following statements are true of solving equations?
katrin2010 [14]

we will check each options

option-A:

For solving any equations , we always isolate variables on anyone side

For exp: x+7=1

so, this is TRUE

option-B:

For solving system of equations

For exp:

x-y=1

x+y=3

If we use addition , we could easily solve for x and y

so, this is TRUE

option-C:

We always solve problems using conventional method

we do not guess

so, this is  FALSE

option-D:

We often reverse order of operation

For exp:

(x-2)^2-3=0

so, this is TRUE

option-E:

For linear equations , we always get one solution , infinite solutions or no solutions

so, this is FALSE
