Answer:

x = -4, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 12 + 2y = 12

=> 3y = 24

=> y = 8

x = 8 - 12

=> x = -4

Answer:

x = -4

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute:

=> (y - 12) + 2y = 12

=> 3y - 12 = 12

=> 3y = 12 + 12

=> 3y = 24

=> y = 24/3

=> y = 8

Now we can substitute 8 in for y, in any of the equation given to find x:

=> x = (8) - 12

=> x = -4

Hope this helps!

Five times the sum of number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that number and 26. What is the

raketka [301]

Answer:

$x \geq -21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

$5(x + 27) \geq 6(x + 26)$

Opening the bracket, we have;

$5x + 135 \geq 6x + 156$

Collecting like terms, we have;

$6x - 5x \geq 135 - 156$

$x \geq -21$

Which are the solutions of x² = 19x + 12

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

$\{x=\frac{19-\sqrt{409} }{2}\ , \ x=\frac{19+\sqrt{409} }{2}\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x² = 19x + 12

⇔ x² - 19x - 12 = 0

Calculating the discriminant :

b² - 4ac = (-19)² - 4×1×(-12) = 409

The discriminant is positive ,then the equation has two solutions.

$x=\frac{19-\sqrt{409} }{2} \ \ or\ \ x=\frac{19+\sqrt{409} }{2}$
