<u>ANSWER:</u>

If \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}=\frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}=\frac{1}{2} then the difference of a and b is 6

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}=\frac{1}{3} →\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}=3 ----- (1)

And \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}=\frac{1}{2} → \sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}=2 --- (2)

We have to find difference of a and b.

Now, add (1) and (2)

\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}=3

\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}=2

Adding above two equations, we get,

2 \sqrt{a}+0=2+3

\begin{array}{l}{2 \sqrt{a}=5} \\\\ {\sqrt{a}=\frac{5}{2}} \\\\ {a=\frac{25}{4}}\end{array}

substitute \sqrt{a} value in (2)

\begin{array}{l}{\frac{5}{2}+\sqrt{b}=2} \\\\ {\sqrt{b}=\frac{2}{\sin \frac{5}{2}}} \\\\ {\sqrt{b}=\frac{4-5}{2}} \\\\ {\sqrt{b}=\frac{-1}{2}} \\\\ {b=\frac{1}{4}}\end{array}

Now, difference of a and b is a – b = \frac{25}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{24}{4}=6

Hence, the difference of a and b is 6.

Julio bought tables and chairs for his restaurant. He bought 16 total items and spent $1800. Each table cost $150 and each chair
uysha [10]

Answer:

He bought 6 chairs and 10 tables.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 16

he spent = $1800

1 chair = $50

y chairs = $50y

1 table = $150

x chairs = $150x

so, 150x+50y = 1800

we got two equations :

x+ y = 16

150x+50y = 1800

Using. substitution method,

x+y = 16

so, x = 16-y

Now

150x+50y =1800

or, 150(16-y) + 50y = 1800

or, 2400-150y+50y = 1800

or, 2400-1800 = 150y-50y

or, 600=100y

so, y = 6

now,

x+y = 16

or, x + 6 = 16

so, x = 10

Simple....

3x-10(x+2)=13-7x

Just solve for x.....

3x-10x-20=13-7x

-7x-20=13-7x
+7x           +7x

-20=13


NO SOLUTION.

Thus, your answer.
