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>

Will side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm form a triangle? explain.
Gelneren [198K]

Yes, that is the famous first Pythagorean triplet: 3²+4²=5²

or

For three lengths to be able to form a triangle, it suffices that every one of those lengths is shorter than the sum and longer than the difference of the other two.

It is enough to check just one side.

So,

3 + 4 > 5

4 - 3 < 5

Your triangle is constructible.

Uh, help? My quarantine brain does not understand.
atroni [7]
You put the values of x into the equation to work out y, so the y column would be -5, -1, 3, 7 (for question 6)
For question 7, the y column would be 2,2,0,-2
Use these values to draw the graphs :)
