Answer:

  • 147 sodas
  • 88 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is similar to many others in which the sum of two quantities and their difference are given. The solution can be found easily when the equations for the relations are written in standard form.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let s and h represent numbers of sodas and hot dogs sold, respectively. The given relations are ...

  • s +h = 235 . . . . . combined total
  • s -h = 59 . . . . . . difference in the quantities

<h3>Solution</h3>

Adding the two equations eliminates one variable.

  (s +h) +(s -h) = (235) +(59)

  2s = 294 . . . . simplify

  s = 147 . . . . . .divide by 2

  h = 147 -59 = 88 . . . . h is 59 less

147 sodas and 88 hot dogs were sold.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The solution to a "sum and difference" problem is always the same. One of the numbers is half the sum of those given, and the other is half their difference. ((235-59)/2 = 88)

Andrew [12]

1. Place your compass point on X and measure the distance to point Y. Swing an arc of this size above (or below) the segment.

2. Without changing the span on the compass, place the compass point on Y and swing the same arc, intersecting with the first arc.

3. Label the point of intersection as the third vertex of the equilateral triangle.

4. Use you straight edge and connect the points.

Answer: The potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases

Step-by-step explanation:

When a body is at rest , the Potential energy is maximum because the body is not moving and the acceleration is therefore zero but as soon as the body starts moving , it will convert the potential energy to kinetic energy , therefore the kinetic energy will therefore increase.
