Answer:

156,23

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y and x>y

x+y=179

x-y=133

add

2x=312

x=156

156+y=179

y=179-156=23

Answer:

156 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We can use system of equations to solve this problem.

Step 1: Set up the system of equations.

  • \left \{ {{x+y=179} \atop {x-y=133}} \right.

Step 2: Solve x + y = 179 for x.

  • x + y = 179
  • x + y - y = 179 - y (Subtract y from both sides)
  • x = -y + 179

Step 3: Substitute -y + 179 for x in x - y = 133.

  • x-y=133
  • -y+179-y=133
  • (-y-y)+(179)=133 (Combine like terms)
  • -2y + 179 = 133
  • -2y + 179 - 179 = 133 - 179 (Subtract 179 from both sides)
  • -2y = -46
  • \frac{-2y}{-2} = \frac{-46}{-2} (Divide both sides by -2)
  • y = 23

Step 4: Substitute 23 for y in x = -y + 179

  • x = -23 + 179
  • x = 156

Therefore, the numbers are 156 and 23.

Solve $16x+9=9y-2x$ for $y$ .
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The solution for y is y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve an equation for one of the variables</em>

- We need to solve the equation 16x + 9 = 9y - 2 x for y

- That means we want to find y in terms of x and the numerical term

- the equation has two sides, one side contains x and numerical term

 and the other side contains y and x

- We need to separate y in one side, and other term in the other side

* <em>Lets do that</em>

∵ 16x + 9 = 9y - 2x

- Add 2x to both sides to cancel -2x from the right side

∴ 16x + 2x + 9 = 9y - 2x + 2x

- Add like terms in each side

∴ 18x + 9 = 9y

- Divide each term by the coefficient of y ⇒ (÷9)

∴ (18 ÷ 9)x + (9 ÷ 9) = (9 ÷ 9)y

∴ 2x + 1 = y

- Switch the two sides

∴ y = 2x + 1

* The solution for y is y = 2x + 1

Can anybody help me?
Kruka [31]

f(-2) = 2(-2)² - 8(-2) + 6 = 30

f(-1) = 2(-1)² - 8(-1) + 6 = 16

f(0) = 2(0)² - 8(0) + 6 = 6

f(1) = 2(1)² - 8(1) + 6 = 0

f(2) = 2(2)² - 8(2) + 6 = -2
