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

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

What is:<br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B4x%5E%7B2%7D%20-20x%2B25%20" id="TexFormula1" title=" \sqrt{4x^{2} -
Firdavs [7]

We are given :

\sqrt{4x^{2}-20x+25}

Step 1: factor the part inside square root

The function given inside square root is of quadratic form.

So let us try to factorise it using AC method.

Here A*C = 4*25 = 100

so we have to find factors of 100 that add up to give -20.

the two factors are -10 and -10.

Rewriting the function :

4x^{2} -20x+25

=4x^{2} -10x-10x+25

=2x(2x-5) - 5(2x-5)

=(2x-5)^{2}

Step 2:

Now we take square root of the factorised form

\sqrt{(2x-5)^2}

= 2x-5

Answer : (2x-5)
