The two positive numbers whose difference is 9 and whose product is 2950 are 50 and 59

<h3>How to determine the positive numbers?</h3>

As a general rule, it should be noted that positive numbers are numbers that have their value greater than 0

So, we start by representing the two positive numbers with x and y.

So, we have the following equations

x - y = 9

xy = 2950

Make x the subject in the first equation x - y = 9

x = y + 9

Substitute y + 9 for x in the second equation

(y + 9) * y = 2950

Expand the equation

y^2 + 9y - 2950 = 0

Using a graphing tool, we  have the solution of the above equation to be

y = 50

Recall that:

x = 9 + y

So, we have:

x = 9 + 50

Evaluate

x = 59

Hence, the two positive numbers whose difference is 9 and whose product is 2950 are 50 and 59

If LW = 5x + 2 and LJ = 11x + 2 in the parallelogram below. Find LW.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

A. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: one of the properties of a parallelogram is that the diagonals bisect each other. This means that:

LJ = 2(LW)

11x + 2 = 2(5x + 2)

11x + 2 = 10x + 4

11x + 2 - 2 = 10x + 4 - 2

11x = 10x + 2

11x - 10x = 10x + 2 - 10x

x = 2

✅LW = 5x + 2

Plug in the value of x

LW = 5(2) + 2

LW = 10 + 2 = 12
