If x+y=9, and 8(x+3y)= 120, what is the value of x-y

Mathematics

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law:

{x + y =9

{8x + 24y = 120

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation.

{x + y = 9

{x + 3y = 15

Subtract the two equations: x + y - (x +3y) = 9 - 15

Remove paranthesis: x + y - x - 3y = 9 - 15

Cancel the unknown variables: y - 3y = 9 - 15

Combine like terms: -2y=9 - 15

Calculate the sum or difference: -2y = -6

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation: y =3

Substitute one unknown quantity into the elimination: x + 3 = 9

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: x = 9 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: x = 6

Write the solution set of equations: {x = 6

                                                           {y = 3

Substitute: 6 - 3

Calculate the sum or difference: 3

Answer: 3

A certain composite number has 4 factors and the sum of them is 96. Find the number(hint the number is divisible by 7). Just don
ankoles [38]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{77}

Step-by-step explanation:

The number can be divisible by 7.

The multiples of 7 are 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70,77,84 and so on

<u>Finding the factors for all of the multiples of 7:</u>

7 => 1,7   [Not 4 factors]

14 => 1,2,7,14    [4 factors but Sum = 24]

21 => 1,3,7,21   [4 factors but Sum = 32]

28 => 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28    [Not 4]

35 => 1,5,7,35   [4 factors but Sum = 48]

42 => 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42     [Not 4]

49 => 1,7,49   [Not 4]

56 => 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56       [Not 4]

63 => 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 63     [Not 4]

70 => 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35, 70    [Not 4]

77 => 1, 7, 11, 77     [4 factors and Sum = 96]
