To find two numbers that add to 3 and multiply to 18, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We have the equations x + y = 3 and x * y = 18. By solving this system, we can find that the numbers are 1.5 and 12.
To find two numbers that add to 20 and multiply to 29, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the two numbers x and y. We have the following equations: x + y = 20 and x * y = 29. By solving these equations simultaneously, we find that the two numbers are 5 and 15.
To find the two numbers that have a difference of 9 and a quotient of 2, we can set up a system of equations. Let's call the larger number x and the smaller number y. We have the equations x - y = 9 and x / y = 2. By solving these equations simultaneously, we can find that the larger number is 6 and the smaller number is 3.
x=3
x = y = 3
y = x - 1 y - x = 3 y = x - 1 y = x + 3 Since both equations represent straight lines that have equal slopes, 1, then the lines are parallel to each other. That is that the lines do not intersect, and the system of the equations does not have a solution.
x + y = 18 x - y = -4

Answer by Hilmarz for a very similar question: When talking about a "system of equations", you would normally expect to have two or more equations. It is quite common to have as many equations as you have variables, so in this case you should have two equations. Pricen2: given that there is no second equation with which to solve the original equation the values of x and y could be any of great number of values. If you knew the value of x then you would use y=3-x to find the value of y If you knew the vlaue of y then you would use x=3-y to find the value of x

If you are trying to find x and y, the answers are x=3 and y=2. You can use elimination to find the answer. First you cross out the y and -y in the equations and then add the x's and numbers, which will give you 3x=9. You can then solve for x and you will get x=3. To find y, you put 3 into either of the equations for x and solve for y.
Let's denote the two numbers as x and y. We know that their sum is -1, so we have the equation x + y = -1. We also know that their difference is 5, so we have the equation x - y = 5. By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can find the values of x and y. Solving the system of equations, we find that x = 2 and y = -3.
If the equations are in y= form, set the two equations equal to each other. Then solve for x. The x value that you get is the x coordinate of the intersection point. To find the y coordinate of the intersection point, plug the x you just got into either equation and simplify so that y= some number. There are other methods of solving a system of equations: matrices, substitution, elimination, and graphing, but the above method is my favorite!
x = 1 and y = 2
x=3
3x-y = 11 x+y = 5 Add both equations together: 4x = 16 Divide both sides by 4 to find the value of x: x = 4 Substitute the value of x into the original equations to find the value of y: Therefore: x = 4 and y = 1
