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.

Express f(x) = |x-2| +|x+2| in the non-modulus form. Hence, sketch the graph of f.

Recall that

$|x|=\begin{cases}x&\text{if }x\ge0\\-x&\text{if }x$

There are three cases to consider:

(1) When $x+2$ , we have $|x+2|=-(x+2)$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)-(x+2)=-2x-4$

(2) When $x+2\ge0$ and $x-2$ , we get $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=-(x-2)$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=-(x-2)+(x+2)=4$

(3) When $x-2\ge0$ , we have $|x+2|=x+2$ and $|x-2|=x-2$ , so

$|x-2|+|x+2|=(x-2)+(x+2)=2x$

So

$|x-2|+|x+2|=\begin{cases}-2x-4&\text{if }x$

Quick help please!

Congruent triangles are all the same. Given that the faces of a triangular pyramid are congruent then all its faces are the same. It is also good to note that this pyramid has 4 faces. Given that the surface area of the pyramid is 372m^2, the area of one face will be:
area=(total area)/(number of faces)
=372/4
=93 m^2

PLZZZ HELP NOOOOWWW!!!

Hello!

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

C is the hypotenuse which is the line across the diameter
a and b are the other sides

You have to find the bottom side of the triangle

9 - 6 = 3

Put in the values you know

$9^{2} + 3^{2} = c^{2}$

Square the numbers

$81 + 9 = c^{2}$

Add

$90 = c^{2}$

take the square root of both sides

$\sqrt{90} = c$

The answer is $C) \sqrt{90}$

Hope this helps!
