The sum of two numbers is 50 and the difference is 4

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 50

x - y = 4

x = y + 4

let's use that as substitute in the first equation

y + 4 + y = 50

2y = 46

y = 46/2 = 23

x = y + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27

the 2 numbers are 23 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and x + 4 as their deference is 4.

their sum = 50

now,

→ x + x + 4 = 50

→ 2x + 4 = 50

→ 2x = 50 - 4 = 46

→ x = 46/2 = 23

therefore two numbers are,

x = 23

x + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27

hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!

In two or three sentences explain how you would solve for the real solutions of the following equation: please help asap!!

g100num [7]

the real solutions for the equation $x^{3}=-64$ are -

$x=4,2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{3}$ = $- 64$

$x^{3} +64$ = 0

We can write 64 as $4^{3}$

$x^{3}$ + $4^{3}$ = 0

using the identity ( $x^{3}+y^{3} = (x+y)(x^{2} -xy+y^{2} )$ )

we get,

= $(x+4) (x^{2} -x*4+4^{2} )$

= $(x+4)(x^{2} -4x+16)$ ....................(1)

solving the quadratic equation ,

$x^{2} -4x+16$ =0

solutions of this quadratic equation can be obtained by

$x=-b +- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } /2a$

let use y for factors

$x=-(-4x)+-\sqrt{(-4x^{2} )-4*x^{2} *16} / 2*x^{2}$

$x=4x+-\sqrt{16x^{2} -64x^{2} } /2x^{2}$

$x=4+-\sqrt{16-64}/2$

$x=4+-4\sqrt{3i} /2$

<u /> $x=2+-2\sqrt{3i}$ ..................(2)

from the equation 1 we have,

$x-4=0$

which gives solution $x=4$

and from equation 2 we got $x=2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

so the real solutions for the equation $x^{3}=-64$ are -

$x=4,2+-2\sqrt{3i}$

What is 27 is what % of 60?

natta225 [31]

Let 27 be x% of 60

so,
x/100 *60 = 27
x = 27*100/60 = 270/6 = 45

So,
27 is <em>45%</em> of 60.

How many terms are in the following sequence? 131072, ..., 8, 4, 2

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

17 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

131072 = 2^17

8 = 2^3

4 = 2^2

2 = 2^1

Apparently, the sequence is powers of 2 from 17 down to 1, so there are 17 terms in the sequence.

Solve for k.<br> 5(k+4)<–5

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

k < -5

Step-by-step explanation:

5(k+4)<–5

Divide each side by 5

5/5(k+4)<–5/5

k+4 < -1

Subtract 4 from each side

k+4-4 < -1-4

k < -5
