Let x = first number and y = second number.
The first statement is expressed as
x*y = 713
The second statement is expressed as
x = y + 9
To find x, use the second equation in terms of y, that is y = x - 9. Then substituting it to the first equation yields
x*(x - 9) = 713
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok? what data?? i need context
Add the equations,just the way they appear there.
-- Add the top 'x' to the bottom 'x'. Write the sum under the 'x's.
-- Add the '+y' and the '-y'. Write the sum under the 'y's.
-- Add the '2' and the '4'. Write the sum under them, with n " = " sign
before it.
You should now have an equation with only 'x' in it and no 'y'.
You can easily solve that one and find out the value of 'x'.
Once you know the value of 'x', go back to either one of the original
equations, and plug the number-value of 'x' in place of 'x'.
You'll then have an equation with only 'y' in it and no 'x'.
You can easily solve that one and find out the value of 'y'.
