Mathematics

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to set up a system of equations. Let x represent the larger number and y represent the smaller number.

x + y = 17

x - y = 7

We can solve this system by adding them together. The y cancels out because y + (-y) = 0. After that, we solve for x

2x = 24          

x = 12              (Divide both sides by 2)

Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute it into one of our original equations to solve for y.

12 + y = 17      

y = 5                (Subtract 12 from both sides)

So, the smaller number is 5.

I need to know what 8(ii) because I don’t know the method
Irina18 [472]
Notice y° and y° and 50°, are all three angles in a flat-line, namely "linear angles", and since a flat-line is always 180°.

\bf y+y+50=180\implies 2y=180-50\implies 2y=130
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{130}{2}\implies  y=65

What are the zeros of g(x)= x³ + 6x² - 9x-54?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

3,-3

Step-by-step explanation:

g(3)= (3)³+6(3)²-9(3)-54

= 27+54-27-54

=81-81

= 0

g(-3) = (-3)³+6(-3)²-9(-3)-54

= -27+54+27-54

= 27-27

= 0

Whats 70-3x6+9 I need the answer plz
kumpel [21]

70-3·6+9

Remember PEMDAS.

You must multiply the 3 and 6 together, and you would get 18.

Then, you subtract 18 from 70, which would give you 52.

And finally, you would add 9 to 52, getting 61 as your final answer.

The 6 represents the thousands digit, and i think the 6 exactly 10 times the value is the 2 that is the tens place and 6 times 10 is 60.
