Step-by-step explanation:

this is what you are told in the problem

x+y=23............1 (the sum)

x-y=7.................2 (the difference)

PS make sure to number your equations

in equation 1 we can take x over so that we form a new equation labelled equation 3

y=23-x...........3

sub 3 into 2

x-(23-x)=7

x-23+x=7

2x=7+23

2x=30

x=15.........4

sub 4 into 1

15+y=23

y=23-15

y=8

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the elimination method:

a.   x + y = 23

     x - y = 7

b.  Adding the 2 equations eliminates y, so we have

     2x = 30

        x = 15.

     Substitute x = 15 in equation a:

      15 + y = 23

         y = 23 - 15

        y =  8.

       Answer x = 15, y = 6.

Please help thank you.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we take a square root of a number the ± sign is with it like here in the question

x^2=20\\\\Apply\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{20}  \\\\The\ square\ cancels\ out\ with\ the\ root\x=\sqrt{20}

And then x = ±4.47 which means x has two values one is +4.47 and the other is -4.47 so Option D is our answer.

A number divided by eleven.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Take the alternating sum of the digits in the number, read from left to right. If that is divisible by 11, so is the original number. So, for instance, 2728 has alternating sum of digits 2 – 7 + 2 – 8 = -11. Since -11 is divisible by 11, so is 2728.
