The sum of two number is 20 and their difference 4 Find the numbers?

x+y=20 x-y=4 2x=24 x=12 y=8


Which two numbers have the mean of 10 and the range of 8?

6 and 14 Solution x - y= 8, so x =8 + y, (x + y)/2 = 10, x + y = 20, Substituting x = 8 + y, we have: 2 y + 8 = 20, or 2y = 12, y = 6, x = 6+8= 14


What. A proportional relationship exists between x and y. When x=8 the value of y is 14. A) Write an equation for y in terms of x.?

In a proportional relationship, y is directly proportional to x, meaning y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. To find k, we can use the given values: 14 = k(8). Solving for k, we get k = 14/8 = 1.75. Therefore, the equation for y in terms of x is y = 1.75x.


What two real numbers have a sum of 8 and a product of 2?

x + y = 8 x * y = 2 First let's solve the first equation for x in terms of y: x + y = 8 x = 8 - y Now let's plug that into our second equation and simplify it: x * y = 2 (8 - y) * y = 2 8y - y2 = 2 -y2 + 8y - 2 = 0 Now the always fun quadratic equation to find y: (Since I don't know how the system will respond to a "plus or minus" sign, I'll use +/- instead) -b +/- sqrt(b2 - 4*a*c) ---------------------------- 2*a ...and plugging in our values (a = -1, b = 8, c = -2) -8 +/- sqrt(82 - 4(-1)(-2)) ------------------------------- 2(-1) -8 +/- sqrt(64 - 8) ---------------------- -2 -8 +/- sqrt(56) ------------------ -2 We'll use a calculator to figure out that sqrt(56) = 2*sqrt(14) -8 +/- 2*sqrt(14) ---------------------- -2 Please excuse the formatting... -8/-2 +/- 2*sqrt(14)/(-2) 4 +/- (-sqrt(14)) 4 -/+ sqrt(14) Note the shift in the +/- to -/+ when we multiply out that -1 y = 4 -/+ sqrt(14) Now that we know y, let's go back to our very first equation and plug in the value. x = 8 - y x = 8 - (4-/+sqrt(14)) Now we have two possible values of y, which change the possible value of x: When y = 4 - sqrt(14), then x = 4 + sqrt(14) When y = 4 + sqrt(14), then x = 4 - sqrt(14) In conclusion, the two real numbers which have a sum of eight and a product of two are: x = 4 - sqrt(14), y = 4 + sqrt(14) x = 4 + sqrt(14), y = 4 - sqrt(14)

Which two numbers have the mean of 10 and the range of 8?

6 and 14 Solution x - y= 8, so x =8 + y, (x + y)/2 = 10, x + y = 20, Substituting x = 8 + y, we have: 2 y + 8 = 20, or 2y = 12, y = 6, x = 6+8= 14

Where do the lines 5x 3y 20 and 2x - y -14 intersect?

By Simultaneous Equations. Assuming you mean 5x + 3y + 20 = 0 2x - y - 14 = 0. We will eliminate 'y' by multiplying the bottom eq'n by '3' and then adding. Hence 5x + 3y + 20 = 0 6x - 3y -42 = 0 Add 11x -22 = 0 11x = 22 x = 22/11 x = 2 when x= 2 2(2) - y - 14 =0 4 - y - 14 = 0 -y - 10 = 0 y = -10 So the point of intersection in ( x.y.) form is ( 2, -10).


What is the value of y if 3y plus 8 equals 5y-20?

If: 3y+8 = 5y-20 Then: 3y-5y = -20-8 So: -2y = -28 And: y = -28/-2 => y = 14
