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.

Which of the following is equivalent to the expression below sqrt 8 - sqrt 72 + sqrt 50
mash [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{72}+\sqrt{50} These cannot combine the way they are. The rule for adding and subtracting radicals is really picky. Not only does the index have to be the same (the little number that is sitting outside in the bend of the radical {ours is a 2, which isn't usually there, but is instead understood to be a square root}), but the radicand, the expression under the square root (or cubed root, or fourth root, etc) has to the same as well. All of our radicals are square roots, so that's good, but the radicands are all different. The first one is an 8, the next one is a 72, and the last one is a 50. BUT if we can rewrite them by simplifying them and then the radicands are the same, we're in good shape.

Simplify by taking the prime factorization of each of those numbers.

8: 4*2 and 4 is a perfect square, so we'll stop there

72: 36*2 and 36 is a perfect square, so we'll stop there

50: 25*2 and 25 is a perfect square, so we'll stop there.

Now, rewrite each one of them in terms of their prime factorization:

\sqrt{4*2}-\sqrt{36*2}+\sqrt{25*2} and then pull out each perfect square as its root:

2\sqrt{2}-6\sqrt{2}+5\sqrt{2} and now all the radicands are the same, so we can add them to get

1\sqrt{2}  or simply  \sqrt{2}

Alfredo bought a fishing pole for 60% off it’s original price of $97. If the tax was 4% ( of the sale price), how much did Alfre
maxonik [38]

Answer:

40.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Well...you see, 60% of $97 is equal to 58.2. you can get this by multiplying 97 by 0.60.

so subtract 97 by 58.2 and you will get 38.8, now you will add the tax which is and extra add-on to the prices full value

and it's a 4% tax so you will add for percent to 38.8,

basically multiply 38.8 times 0.04 and you will get 1.6 which you will have to add the your amount to get 40.4.
