Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the latter two equations and you get ...
(a +b) +(a -b) = (7) +(3)
2a = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 5 . . . . . . . divide by 2
Answer:
Combine like terms
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step in such equations is to simplify the equation which is done most often by combining like terms, and by combining like terms i mean for example:
1 + 5 + 3x = 4y + z
You will combine the like terms (those that can be added or subtracted):
6 + 3x = 4y + z
In our example, combining terms would be adding 2x/3 and 1x/3 to give
3x/3 + 2 = 5
The equation is now simple and easy to solve as you simplify 3x/3 to 1x and then proceed to rearrange the equation to yield the value of x
Hope this helps!
Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Answer: y = 57°
Explanation: 180-114 = 66°
A triangle has a total of 180° so 180-66 = 114
114 / 2 = 57° (because angles y and y have the same value)
Hope this helps :)
