2(x+y)=24
2x=y
Use substitution. If y=2x, than we can substitute 2x for it in the other equation, because x and y equal the same things in both equations.
So using that we get 2(x+2x)=24
SIMPLIFY
2(3x)=24
DISTRIBUTE
6x=24.
DIVIDE: x=4.
If we substitute x into the original equations we get x=4 and y=8. Those are your two numbers.
Have a nice day! :)
One <u>possible story</u> is:
I had 5 apples. My sister gave me 7, and now I have 12.
Explanation:
We are writing a story for 5+7=12. This means we need to start with 5 objects and somehow gain 7 more. In our story, we start with 5 apples and we get 7 more.
The last part is that our total must be 12. In our story, we end with 12 apples.
We try to factor by maybe grouping
experiment
(x²y³-11x²y)+(6y²-66)
factor
x²y(y²-11)+6(y²-11)
undistribute (y²-11) from each
(x²y+6)(y²-11)
we can force a factor out of the 2nd group in the form of a difference of 2 perfect squares
(x²y+6)(y-√11)(y+√11)
either of those 3 are factors
