First sequence with common difference:
8-x=y-8
Second sequence:
20-y=y-x

Solving two simultaneous equations:
x=16-y
20-y=y-16+y
y=12
x=4

UkoKoshka [18]
So if her pay check is x she spends 0.25x on the dress and 0.125x on shoes. That’s 0.375 when added together.
So 0.375x + 24=60
0.375x = 60-24
0.375x= 36
X=36/0.375
X=$96

.<br><br> y = x2 + 3<br> y = x + 5
ddd [48]
I assume you mean x squared in the first equation

Because both are equal to y, they are equal to each other so x + 5 = x^2 +3
If we then move everything over to one side, we get x^2 - x - 2 = 0

Then factorise it to (x-2)(x+1) = 0
And solve both parts separately

x + 1 = 0
x = -1

x-2 = 0
x = 2

Sub both values into the simplest equation in this case y=x+5
to get y = 4 and y = 7

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

45 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, if the ratio is 5 : 4, then is you multiply 4 x 5 to get 20, you need to multiply 5 x 5 to get 25.

Second, 20 + 25 = 45 which is the total amount of puzzle pieces.

Hope this helps!
