Two numbers, x and y, have a sum of 8 and a difference of –14. A. Write a system of equations that can be used to determine the values of x and y. B. Solve the system of equations. Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The system is:

x + y = 8

x - y = -14

And the solution is:

x = -3

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers x and y, such that:

x + y = 8   (the sum is equal to 8)

x - y = -14  (the difference is equal to -14)

This is the system of equations we need to solve.

To solve the system, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, I will isolate x in the first equation:

x = 8 - y

Now we can replace this in the other equation to get:

(8 - y) - y = -14

8 - 2*y = -14

8 + 14 = 2*y

22 = 2*y

22/2 = y

11 = y

Now we can replace this in the equation "x = 8 - y"

To get:

x = 8 - 11  = -3

Then the solution to the system is:

x = -3 and y = 11

Find the length of a rectangular prism if the volume is 70 m3, the width is 2 m, and the height is 7 m.
5 m
8 m
7 m
6 m

Answers

Answer:

5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the volume formula, V = lwh

Plug in the volume, width, and height, then solve for l (the length)

V = lwh

70 = (l)(2)(7)

70 = 14l

5 = l

So, the length of the rectangular prism is 5 m

Answer:

Solution :-

We have

Volume = 70 m³

Width = 2 m

Height = 7 m

Length = Volume/Width × Height

Length = 70/2 × 7

Length = 70/14

Length = 5 m

A garden measuring 8 feet by 12 feet will have a walkway around it. The walkway has
a uniform width, and the area covered by the garden and walkway is 192 square feet.
What is the width of the walkway?
O 3.5 feet
O 6 feet
O 2 feet
O 4 feet

Answers

Answer:

2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

By solving a quadratic equation, we will see that the width of the walkway must be 2 ft.

How to get the width of the walkway?

Remember that the area of a rectangle of length L and width W is:

A = L*W

In this case, we know that the dimensions are:

Length = 8ftWidth = 12ft

Now, if we add a walkway of width x all around the garden, the new dimensions of the garden are:

Length = 8ft + 2xWidth = 12ft + 2x

Now with these dimensions, the area is 192 ft^2, then we can write:

192 ft^2  = (8ft + 2x)*(12ft + 2x)

Now we need to solve that for x:

192 ft^2 = 96ft^2 + 4x^2 + 40ft*x

0 = 96ft^2 - 192ft^2 + 4x^2 + 40ft*x

0 = 4x^2 + 40ft*x - 96ft^2

This is a quadratic equation, the solutions are given by Bhaskara's formula:

[tex]x = \frac{-(40ft) \pm \sqrt{(40ft)^2 - 4*4*(-96ft^2)} }{2*4} \\\\x = \frac{-(40ft) \pm 56ft }{8}[/tex]

Notice that we have two solutions, but we only care for the positive one, so we take:

x = (-40ft + 56ft)/8 = 2ft

So the width of the walkway must be 2ft.
