Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 21 and their difference is 5

Mathematics

kykrilka [37]3 years ago

Answer: x = 13 and y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers must add to 21. We don't know them yet, so let's just use a placeholder for both of them for now.

x + y = 21

Their difference is five, meaning that if we subtract one from the other, we get five. Again, we don't know the numbers yet, so we'll add a placeholder for now.

x - y = 5

We can now solve a system of equations for x.

x = y + 5

y + 5 + y = 21

2y + 5 = 21

2y = 16

y = 8

x - 8 = 5

x = 13

So x = 13 and y = 8

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes
grigory [225]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two points (2,7) and (4,-1).  In order to determine the linear equation, we need to find the slope and the y-intercept. First, find the slope <em>m.</em> Let (2,7) be x1 and y1, and let (4,-1) be x2 and y2:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{-1-7}{4-2}=-8/2=-4

Thus, the slope is -4.

Now, to find the y-intercept, we can use the point-slope form. Recall that the point slope form is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where (x1, y1) is a coordinate pair and m is the slope.

Use either of the two coordinate pair. I'm going to use (2,7). Substitute them for x1 and y1, respectively:

y-(7)=-4(x-(2))\\y-7=-4x+8\\y=-4x+15

This is also slope-intercept form. The answer is A.

Can anyone help me solve this?​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(\sqrt{z} +\sqrt{22})(\sqrt{z} -\sqrt{22})=35

Subtract both sides from 35

(\sqrt{z}+\sqrt{22} (\sqrt{z} -\sqrt{22})-35=35-35

Simplify:

(\sqrt{z})^{2} -57=0

Factor (\sqrt{z})^{2}  -57: (\sqrt{z}+\sqrt{57}) (\sqrt{z}-\sqrt{57})=0

\sqrt{z} +\sqrt{57}=0    or    \sqrt{z}  -\sqrt{57}=0

\sqrt{z} +\sqrt{57} =0: No Solution for Z

\sqrt{z} -\sqrt{57} =0: z=57

Your answer will be z=57

and No solution

Which polynomial does the model represent?
Maurinko [17]
Ive never seen a question lie this before
Since the first figure is a square I guess it stand for x^2
then we have -2x + 3x   = x ( the 2 stets of rectangles)
and finally -3 + 1 = - 2
So i am presuming its x^2 + x - 2  
Option b

Im not sure though

Solve the missing variable. Show your process please because I did the other three on my homework sheet but I really struggle wi
kotykmax [81]

Follow these steps:

-8.4b - 4.2 = 12.6

Add 4.2 on both sides:

-8.4b = 16.8

Divide by -8.4 on both sides to give you the final answer of:

b = -2

So you're answer is indeed correct! Hope this helps and that the steps are clear enough!
