Hi,
one numberhighlight%28y%29 is 5 more than anotherhighlight%28x%29
Question states*** the difference of their squares is 30
y^2 - x^2 = 30 | y = (x+5)
(x+5)^2 - x^2 = 30
x^2 +10x + 25 - x^2 = 30
10x = 5
x = .5, the smaller number. 5.5 the large number y.

Hi,
Question states*** They each drive the same amount of time: t = D/r
Let x represent the amount of distance driven by Kelvin
x%2F50+=+%28385-x%29%2F60 | Cross Multiplying to solve
60x = 50(385-x)
110x = 19250
x = 175, distance driven by Kelvin. t = 175/50 =3.5 hrs
left home at 3:00 P.M. met at 6:30 P.M.
and(just checking...) Sandy's time = 210/60 = 3.5 hrs

Hi,
3x − 5y + 2z = 2
x − 3y + 2z = 2
5x − 11y + 6z = 6
Dependent system as D =0, as well as Dx=0, Dy= 0 and Dz = 0
or as demonstated by selecting different pairs of EQs and eliminating z for both:
2x - 2y = 0
2x - 2y = 0 |Subtracting 2nd from 1st

Hi,
Solve the system by putting each of their graphs on the same graph
the point they intersect at: (-2,6) is the solution for this system

If You are having difficulty graphing each of the linear equations:
find at least 2 (x,y)points for each and connect pair of the 2 points with their
respective line
2x+y=2 x = 0 ⇒ y = 2, y = 0 ⇒ x = 1 (0,2) and (1,0) on this line
6x+4y=12 x = 0 ⇒ y= 3, y = 0 ⇒ x = 2 (0,3) and (2,0) on this line

Hi,
Find two consecutive integershighlight%28x%29, highlight%28x%2B1%29whose product is 72.
x(x+1) = 72
x^2 + x - 72 = 0
(x+9)(x-8) = 0 , x = -9 or x = 8
two consecutive integers are: -9, -8 or 8, 9
There are no two consecutive even integers whose product is 72
Find two consecutive even integers highlight%28x%29, highlight%28x%2B2%29whose product is 168.
x(x+2) = 168
x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0
(x+14)(x-12) = 0. x = -14 or x = 12
two consecutive even integers are: -14, -12 or 12, 14
