Hey!To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations and use the system of equations to solve.

Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.

(x + y) ÷ 2 = 34
x = 3y

Now, we can use substitution to solve.

(3y + y) ÷ 2 = 34
4y ÷ 2 = 34
2y = 34
y = 17

Now, you plug the value of y in the equation to solve for x.

x = 3*17
x = 51
hope this helps!!

(x + y)/2 = 34 multiply by 2
x + y = 68                               (1)
3x = y                                     (2)
Put 3x in for y in equation 1
x + 3x = 68
4x = 68
x = 17

One of the numbers is 17
The other one is 51

arlik [135]

Answer:

(a;b)={(17; 64); (64; 17)}

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=81 => b=81-a

a*b=1088

a*(81-a)=1088

-a²+81a=1088

a²-81a+1088=0

a²-64a-17a+1088=0

a(a-64)-17(a-64)=0

(a-17)(a-64)=0

=> a=17 and a=64

for a=17 => b=81-17=64

for a=64 => b=81-64=17

(a;b)={(17; 64); (64; 17)}

Simplify<br> x^2(y^3)^4/xy^5=x^a•y^b
givi [52]

Answer: a = 1 b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2(y^3)^4/x.y^5 = x^a.y^b

x^2(y^12) = x^a.y^b

(x^2).(y^12)/x^y^5 = x.y^7

x.y^7= x^a . y^b -> <u>x^1.y^7</u>
