Answer:  

X + Y = 5.678

X - Y = 9.876

The two numbers: X = 7.777   Y = -2.099

Step-by-step explanation: solve by elimination

X + Y = 5.678

X - Y = 9.876 . Add the two equations so the y cancels. Solve for x

2x = 15.554 .  Divide both sides by 2

X = 7.777    Substitute in the original equations to find Y

7.777 + y = 5.678 . Subtract 7.777 from both sides

Y = - 2.099

check in the second equation:

7.777 -(-2.099) = 9.876

7.777 + 2.099 = 9.876 <u>True</u>

Simplify -12.5 - (-4.8)
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: -17.5

Step-by-step explanation:Use this rule:

1. -a-b=-(a+b)−a−b=−(a+b).

-(12.5+4.8)−(12.5+4.8)

2.Use the algorithm method.

1  

1 2 . 5

+  4 . 8

1 7 . 3

3.After simplification, we have:

-(12.5+4.8)=-17.3−(12.5+4.8)=−17.3

4. Therefore, -12.5-4.8=-17.3−12.5−4.8=−17.3.

-17.3−17.3

What is m∠DHG? Enter your answer in the box.
LenaWriter [7]

the 2 equations given are vertical angles which mean they would equal the same.

Set the two equations to equal each other to solve for x:

6(x-2) = 3x+30

Simplify the left side:

6x-12 = 3x+30

Add 12 to eac side:

6x = 3x+42

Subtract 3x from each side"

3x = 42

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 42/3

X = 14


Now you know X, replace x with 14 in the equation for DHG:

DHG = 6(x-2)

6(14-2)

Simplify:

6(12)

Multiply:

72

Angle DHG is 72 degrees.

10. Suppose you earn $7.25 per hour working part-time for a florist. What is the minimum number of hours you must work to earn a
UNO [17]
To make it like a simple, I'll make an equation. Let x be the number of hours because x represents unknown and we don't know the hours. Then your per hour is $7.25 right? so it would be x7.25. You want to know how many hours you will work so you can earn $125. The equation is simple as this x7.25 = 125.
All you have to do is divide the equation by 7.25 because that's your per hour.
It will look like this, <u>x7.25</u> = <u>125</u>   then the answer would be 17.24 hours. 
                                   7.25   7.25
