Absolute value means ignore negative signs, so #38 is asking is 282 greater or less than 279. it's greater. #39 is negative of |-10| the absolute value signs work as parentheses too, so it's -(10) so -10
Answer: The first number is 4
Explanation: Since the sum of the two numbers is ten, x + y = 10
Also, since the difference of the two numbers is two, then x - y = 2
Since x - y = 2, another way to write that is x = y + 2 and since x is exactly the same as y + 2, we can plug in "y + 2" in place of x in the first equation (x + y = 10) to get (y + 2) + y = 10. Then we solve this equation by combining like-terms.
2y + 2 = 10
2y = 8
y = 4
Since x = y + 2, x = 4 + 2 or x = 6
I hope this helped you!
The common ratio is 5 because each number is being multiplied/divided by 5
Answer:
2/3x+8=y
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-12y=-96
8x+96=12y
8/12x+8=y
2/3x+8=y
Well first all you have to do is simplifying both sides of the equation then of course isolating the variable then you should end up with
