Answer:

One number is 4.2, the other is 18.8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)  x+y=23

    (x+6y)x2=4

2.) (x+6y)x2=4   =   2x+12y=4

3.)Use elimination/substitution to solve

     2x+12y=4  =   x+6y=2  =  x=2-6y

     2-6y+y=23

4.)Solve for y

     2-5y=23 -> -5y=21 -> y=4.2.

5.)Solve for x

    x+4.2=23

    x=18.8

I may be wrong so let me know if I am

Find a statement that is equivalent to the absolute value equation |9x−9|=7.
Olegator [25]

Answer:9x-9=7 or 9x-9=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

An absolute value is the distance from zero, therefore the answer can not be negative. In this case, 9x-9=7 and 9x-9=-7 both work, because 7 and -7 are the same distance from zero.
