Find two numbers with a sum of 20 and a difference of 14

Find two numbers with a sum of 20 and a difference of 14

Make two equations

X+Y=20

X-Y=14

Now add x since y cancels out and add 20+14 To end up with

2x=34

Now divide 2 both sides to get x alone

2x/2=34/2

X=17

Now substitute x answer to first equation and solve for y

17+y=20

Subtract 17 both sides

Y= 3

Your two numbers are

3 and 17

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.  

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
