Hey there :)
Let us first translate words into mathematics!
Sum of 2 numbers is 52
x + y = 52
Difference of 2 numbers is 9
x - y = 9
(eq.1) x + y = 52
(eq.2) x - y = 9
Add both equations : x + y = 52
+ x - y = 9
2x = 61
x = 30.5
We now have the value of x, substitute into eithe formulae to find y
x - y = 9 , 30.5 - y = 9 , 30.5 - 9 = y , 21.5 = y
x + y = 52 , 30.5 + y = 52 , 52 - 30.5 = y , 21.5 = y
x = 30.5y = 21.5
Answer:
Length = 7
Width = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
L= x
W= x-8
2x+2(x-8)=44
Answer:
45.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would find 1/3 third of 10.50 and it is 3.5, you would then do 10.50 x 4 since it said 10.50 per half a yard, so you would do times 4 and you would get 42, you would then add 42 + 3.5 which equals 45.5.
