25% of 8 is 2, 8-2=6
2 are red, 6 are blue
Answer:
x = 6
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y
<u><em>Condition 1:</em></u>
7x+3y = 54 -----------(1)
<u><em>Condition 2:</em></u>
x = 2+y -----------------(2)
<em>Putting (2) in (1)</em>
=> 7(y+2)+3y = 54
=> 7y+14+3y = 54
=> 10y = 54-14
=> 10y = 40
<em>Dividing both sides by 10</em>
=> y = 4
<em>Now putting y = 4 in eq(2)</em>
=> x = 2+4
=> x = 6
7) Certainly there is a typo in the statement, just see that the expression of item (ii) is different from that of item (i). Probably the correct expression is:

. With this consideration, we can continue.
(i) Let E the expression that we are analyzing:

Since (x-1)² is a perfect square, it is a positive number. So, E is a result of a sum of two positive numbers, 2(x-1)² and 3. Hence, E is a positive number, too.
(ii) Manipulating the expression:

So, it's the case when E=0. However, E is always a positive number. Then, there is no real number x that satisfies the expression.
8) Let E the expression that we want to calculate:

Multiplying by (2-1) in the both sides:

Repeating the process, we obtain:
For the given equation, either 3x + 7 = 0 or x + 7 = 0
Now,
or
So, possible values of x is : -7 and -7/3
