Answer:
first number(x) = 2 second number(y)= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of a simultaneous equation.
First write this word problem as equations, where x is the "first number" that you've mentioned and y is the "second number".
x + 2y = 14 (equation 1)
2x + y = 10 (equation 2)
This is solved using the elimination method.
We need to make one of the coefficients the same - in this case we can make y the same. In order to do this we need to multiply equation 2 by 2, so that y becomes 2y.
2x + y = 10 MULTIPLY BY 2
4x + 2y = 20 (this is now our new equation 2 with the same y coefficient)
Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2.
4x - x + 2y - 2y = 20 - 14 (2y cancels out here)
3x = 6
x = 2
Now we substitute our x value into equation 1 to find the value of y.
2 + 2y = 14
2y = 12
y = 6
Hope this has answered your question.
Answer:
P____Q____R
PR= PQ+ QR
(14x-13) = (5x-2)+(6x+1)
14x-13= 11x – 1
14x – 11x = 13–1
3x = 12
x= 12/ 3
x= 4
PR= 14x – 13 = 14 (4) – 13 = 18 – 13= 5
If you want (PQ , QR ) this is the solution
PQ =5x-2=5(4)-2=20-2=18
QR =6x+1=6(4)+1=24+1=25
I hope I helped you^_^

Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
When working with balanced expressions (stuff on both sides of the equal sign), "what you do to one side, you do to the other", which keeps it balanced.
The first thing we notice is the exponent 1/4, which is one both sides, so we can get rid of it on both sides by using the <u>reverse operation</u>.
The reverse of exponents is <u>square root</u>.
![(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}} = (9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}\\\sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}}} = \sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}}\\\\4x + 10 = 9 + 7x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%284x%20%2B%2010%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%3D%20%289%20%2B%207x%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%5C%5C%5Csqrt%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5D%7B%284x%20%2B%2010%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5D%7B%289%20%2B%207x%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C4x%20%2B%2010%20%3D%209%20%2B%207x)
Isolate x to solve. Separate the variables and non-variables.
4x + 10 = 9 + 7x
4x - 4x + 10 = 9 + 7x - 4x Subtract 4x from both sides
10 = 9 + 3x
10 - 9 = 9 - 9 + 3x Subtract 9 from both sides
1 = 3x Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
x = 1/3 Answer
Answer: 31 & 42
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1st #: x
2nd #: x + 11
1st# + 2nd# = sum
x + x + 11 = 73
2x + 11 = 73
2x = 62
x = 31
2nd #: x + 11 = 31 + 11 = 42
