Quotient means division....less then means subtract
(y/2) - 5
It’s 6.72 you add the two numbers
Answer:
y = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratio's to solve this
40 20
----- = -----------
100 20 + y
Using cross products
40 * (20+y) = 20*100
Distribute
800 + 40y = 2000
Subtract 800 from each side
40y = 2000-800
40y = 1200
Divide by 40
y = 1200/40
y =30
Write x-4 instead of y.
x²+(x-4)²=40
x²+x²-8x+16=40
2x²-8x-24=0
x²-4x-12=0
(x-6)(x+2)=0
x=6 or x=-2
for x=6, y=6-4 = 2
for x=-2, y=-2-4 = -6
