The foctor of 40 I this = 1,2,4,5,8,40
The value of y-x is (-3)
<u>Solution:</u>
Given: The value of x-y=3
To find: The value of y-x

Let's multiply the equation (1) by (- 1) on both sides,


On multiplying the sign,

The above equation can also be written as,

<u>Multiplication of signs:</u>




In simpler terms, when we multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive and when we multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the simultaneous equation 2p - 3q = 4 and 3p + 2q = 9, to get the value of p and q we will use elimination method.
2p - 3q = 4 ...................... 1 * 3
3p + 2q = 9 ..................... 2 * 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and 3 by 2:
6p - 9q = 12
6p + 4q = 18
Subtracting both equation
-9q-4q = 12-18
-13q = -6
q = -6/-13
q = 6/13
Substituting q = 6/13 into equation 2
2p - 3(6/13) = 4
2p - 18/13 = 4
2p = 4+18/13
2p = (52+18)/13
2p = 70/13
p = 70/26
p = 35/13
<em>Hence p = 35/13 and q = 6/13</em>

<em>b) </em>If if 223ₓ = 87 find x
Using the number base system and converting 223ₓ to base 2 will give us;
223ₓ = 2*x² + 2*x¹ + 3*x⁰
223ₓ = 2x²+2x+3
Substituting back into the equation, 2x²+2x+3 = 87
2x²+2x+3-87 = 0
2x²+2x-84 = 0
x²+x-42 = 0
On factorizing:
(x²+6x)-(7x-42) = 0
x(x+6)-7(x+6) = 0
(x+6)(x-7) = 0
x+6 = 0 and x-7 = 0
x = -6 and 7
<em>Hence the value of x is 7 (neglecting the negative value)</em>
