The first number, x, is 3.5. The other number, y, is 10.5.
X+y=-7
X-y=14.
Those are the two equations. If you use the elimination method, and add those two equations together, the resulting equation is 2x=7. That means the first variable is 3.5. So, 3.5-y=-7, so that means y is -10.5. If you plug that in with the other equation then it comes out as true.

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 14 and their difference is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

"2 numbers (x and y)

x+y = 14

and x-y + 10

If you each equation by positive 2, one gets 2x+2y = 28 and 2x-2y = 20

The 'y-terms' cancel out or equal zero when adding, so 4x = 48, divide by 4 on each side and x or the first number equals 12.

Plug 12 back into the equation for 'x' and subtract 12 on both sides so that y=2

The difference of 12-2=10 and the addition of 12 and 2 equals 14"

hopes this helps

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day. In 10 days, she reads 200 pages. Assume the relationship is linear. Find and interpr
Phantasy [73]

Given:

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day.

In 10 days, she reads 200 pages.

Assume the relationship is linear.

To find:

The rate of change and initial value.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a linear function is:

y=mx+b            ...(i)

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Angelica reads 15 pages of a book each day. So, the rate of change is 15 pages per day and m=15.

In 10 days, she reads 200 pages. It means the linear relation passes through the point (10,200).

Putting x=10,y=200,m=15 in (i), we get

200=15(10)+b

200=150+b

200-150=b

50=b

So, the y-intercept is 50. It means the initial number of pages angelica already read is 50.

Therefore, the rate of change is 15, it means Angelica reads 15 pages per day. The y-intercept is 50, it means the initial number of pages angelica already read is 50.

How many times does the graph of 4x = 32 - x2 cross the x-axis?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times

The solutions are  x = -8  &  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Qaudratics are in the form ax^2 + bx+ c

Where a, b, c are constants

Now, let's arrange this equation in this form:

4x=32-x^2\\x^2+4x-32=0

Where

a = 1

b = 4

c = -32

We need to know the discriminant to know nature of roots. The discriminant is:

D=b^2-4ac

If

  • D = 0 , we have 2 similar root and there is 2 solutions and that touches the x-axis
  • D > 0,  we have 2 distinct roots/solutions and both cut the x-axis
  • D < 0,  we have imaginary roots and it never cuts the x-axis

Let's find value of Discriminant:

D=b^2-4ac\\D=(4)^2 -4(1)(-32)\\D=144

Certainly D > 0, so there are 2 distinct roots and cuts the x-axis twice.

We get the roots/solutions by factoring:

x^2+4x-32=0\\(x+8)(x-4)=0\\x=4,-8

Thus,

The graph crosses the x-axis 2 times

The solutions are  x = -8  &  x = 4
