If 2x² – 2y = 125 and x - y = 2.5, find the value of x + y

We can solve this using substitution.

because x-y=2.5

x=y+2.5

Now substitute x into other equation.

2(y+2.5)^2-2y=125

2y^2+10y+12.5-2y=125

2y^2+8y-112.5=0

Now comes the ugly part

y=-4+-sqrt(16+900)

y=-4+-sqrt916

y=-4+-2sqrt229

x=-1.5+-2sqrt229

Help for number 4 part a and part b
djyliett [7]
Part A:  7/10 because .7 represents 70/100 of a whole, or 7/10.

Part B: I think 1 and 89/100 because 89/100 represents that fraction

These are my answers, so I may be wrong.

Hope I helped, and good luck!

16 less than a number is 54.Write and solve an Algebraic Equation
vova2212 [387]
Step 1:

For a number, let us use n.

We know the equation equals 54, and we also know that 54 is sixteen less than n. Thus, we can make the equation:

n - 16 = 54

Step 2:

Now, to solve the equation, we simply have to get the integers to one side. To do this, add 16 to both sides of the equal sign. Our answer is:

n = 70

Hope this helps.
