X+y=31.5
x-y=5.25

add 2 equations
x+y+x-y=31.5+5.25
2x=36.75
x=18.375
y=31.5-18.375=13.125
check : 18.375+13.125=31.5, 
18.375-13.125=5.25

Answer:

The two numbers are 18.375 and 13.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sum of two numbers is 31.5 and their difference is 5.25

we have to find the two numbers.

Let the two numbers are x and y.

As sum of two numbers is 31.5 and difference is 5.25

∴ x+y=31.5   →   (1)

x-y=5.25   →   (2)

Adding eq (1) and (2), we get

2x=31.5+5.25=36.75

x=\frac{36.75}{2}=18.375

(2) ⇒ 18.375-y=5.25 ⇒ y=13.125

Hence, the two numbers are 18.375 and 13.125

A golf tournament has five rounds. The players are given scores for each round based on how many strokes they are above or below
frozen [14]

We have the following table:

Round Number of Strokes Above or Below 72

1 -5

2 +6

3 -2

4 -4

5 +5

So, the expression that represents the total number of strokes is:

72 + (Number of strokes Above or below 72)

Therefore, for every round we get:

Round Number of Strokes Above or Below 72 Total number of strokes

1 -5 72 - 5 = 67

2 +6 72 + 6 = 78

3 -2 72 - 2 = 70

4 -4 72 - 4 = 68

5 +5 72 + 5 = 77

The total number of strokes is:

67 + 78 + 70 + 68 + 77 = 360

Additionally, the average is the total number of strokes divided by the number of rounds, so it is equal to:

\frac{360}{5}=72

Answer: Total: 360 Strokes

Average: 72 Strokes
