"The sum of two numbers is 20" can be translated mathematically into the equation:
x + y = 20.
"... and their difference is 10" can be translated mathematically as:
x - y = 10
We can now find the two unknown numbers, x and y, because we now have a system of two equations in two unknowns, x and y. We'll use the Addition-Subtraction Method, also know as the Elimination Method, to solve this system of equations for x and y by first eliminating one of the variables, y, by adding the second equation to the first equation to get a third equation in just one unknown, x, as follows:
Adding the two equations will eliminate the variable y:
x + y = 20
x - y = 10
-----------
2x + 0 = 30
2x = 30
(2x)/2 = 30/2
(2/2)x = 15
(1)x = 15
x = 15
Now, substitute x = 15 back into one of the two original equations. Let's use the equation showing the sum of x and y as follows (Note: We could have used the other equation instead):
x + y = 20
15 + y = 20
15 - 15 + y = 20 - 15
0 + y = 5
y = 5
CHECK:
In order for x = 15 and y = 5 to be the solution to our original system of two linear equations in two unknowns, x and y, this pair of numbers must satisfy BOTH equations as follows:
x + y = 20 x - y = 10
15 + 5 = 20 15 - 5 = 10
20 = 20 10 = 10
Therefore, x = 15 and y = 5 is indeed the solution to our original system of two linear equations in two unknowns, x and y, and the product of the two numbers x = 15 and y = 5 is:
xy = 15(5)
xy = 75
The answer is 36.5 if i’m wrong i’m sorry i’m pretty sure it’s right
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(6 -4) / (2 - (-1)) =(2) / (2+1) = 2/3
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
2 digit number starts from 10 ends at 99
between 10 and 19 there is only one number whose tens digit is more than ones digit.
that is 10
between 20 and 29 there are two numbers
20 and 21
like the same
between 30 and 39 there are 3 numbers
10–19. 1
20–29. 2
30–39. 3
40–49. 4
50–59. 5
60–69. 6
70–79. 7
80–89. 8
99–99. 9
sum of first n natural numbers is n(n+1)/2
9(9+1)/2=45
