The sum of two positive integers is 18 and their difference is 2. What is the larger number?​

Mathematics

choli [55]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

we call the numbers x and y

then from the given data:

x+y=18

x-y=2

we add both sides of both equations

x+y+x-y=20

2x=20

x=10

we use the first equation:

10+y=18

then y=8

the larger number is x=10

5) You randomly choose a marble from a jar. The jar contains 4 red
Dmitry [639]

the  probability of the event choosing a yellow marble is 2/9 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , to choose a marble from a jar. The jar contains 4 red

marbles, 10 blue marbles, 7 green marbles, and 6 yellow marbles. We need to Find the  probability of the event choosing a yellow marble . Let's find out:

According to question question we have following parameters as :

Red marbles = 4

Blue marbles  =10

Green marbles = 7

Yellow marbles = 6

Now , Probability to chose a yellow marble is :

Favorable outcomes = 6(Number of yellow marbles )

Total outcomes = 4+10+7+6 = 27( Total marbles )

Hence ,

⇒ Probability = \frac{6}{27}

⇒ Probability = \frac{2}{9}

Therefore ,  the  probability of the event choosing a yellow marble is 2/9 .

Determine algebraically whether the function is even, odd, or neither even nor odd. f as a function of x is equal to x plus quan
Svetach [21]

y = x + 4/x

replace x with -x. Do you get back the original equation after simplifying. if you do, the function is even. replace y with -y AND x with -x. Do you get back the original equation after simplifying. If you do, the function is odd. A function can be either even or odd but not both. Or it can be neither one. Let's first replace x with -x

y = -x + 4/-x = -x - 4/x = -(x + 4/x)

we see that this function is not the same because the original function has been multiplied by -1 . Let's replace y with -y and x with -x

-y = -x + 4/-x

-y = -x - 4/x

-y = -(x + 4/x)

y = x + 4/x

This is the original equation so the function is odd.
