So let’s make the smaller number x and the larger one y....
Set up your equation by following the words signaling mathematical operations from the question.
y = 8 + 4x
y + 4x = 40
Now let’s bring all variables to one side and solve the system if equations with elimination...
y - 4x = 8
y + 4x = 40
Add the equations:
2y = 48
y = 24
Plug the y-value into one of the original equations:
24 = 8 + 4x
16 = 4x
4x = 16
x = 4
And there you have it! The smaller number [x] is 4 and the larger number [y] is 24.
Answer: x+y=50 i think but do correct me if im wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
hope it helped pls mark me brainly
and im kris btw nice to meet u
Given:
In △ABC is a right angle triangle.
AC is 6 units longer than side BC.
To find:
The length of AC.
Solution:
Let the length of BC be x.
So, Length of AC = x+6
According to the Pythagoras theorem, in a right angle triangle
△ABC is a right angle triangle and AC is hypotenuse, so
![[\because (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20%28a%2Bb%29%5E2%3Da%5E2%2B2ab%2Bb%5E2%5D)
Subtract 68 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 2.
Splitting the middle term, we get
Side cannot be negative, so x=2 only.
Now,
Therefore, the length of AC is 8 units.
