Answer: x = 4, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

sum of the two numbers will be

x + y =  12 ------------------------------1

Difference of the two numbers

x - y  =  -4 ----------------------------- 2

Now, to find the two numbers , we solve equation 1 & 2 together

  x + y =  12

  x - y  =  -4

we now add the two equations to eliminate y

   2x =  8

      x = 4.  Now to find the value of y, we substitute for x in any of the equation above

 x + y  = 12

 4  + y = 12

        y =  12 - 4

        y  =  8

Answer:

  4 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent one of the numbers. Then the other is 12-a, and their difference is ...

  a - (12-a) = -4

  2a = 8 . . . . add 12

  a = 4 . . . . . divide by 2

  12-a = 8 . . . . find the other number

The two numbers are 4 and 8.

Match the steps to find the equation of the parabola with focus (-1,2) and directrix x=5
Paha777 [63]
Given that parabola has a focus of (-1,2) and directrix of x=5, Matching the steps with the equations we shall have:
1. Use (x,y)⇒choose a point from the parabola.

2. √[(x+1)²+(y-2)²]⇒Find the distance from the focus to the point on the parabola

3. √(x-5)²⇒Find the distance from the point on the parabola to the directrix

4. √[(x+1)²+(y-2)²]=√(x-5)²⇒Set the distance from focus to the point equal to the distance from directrix to the point

5. (x+2)²+(y-2)²=(x-5)² ⇒Square both sides and simplify
   y²-4y+4=-12x+24

6. x=-y²/12+y/3+5/3⇒Write the equation of the parabola

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

A= (h)(b)/2 = 4×6/2=12

I got the six for the base and 4 for the height. You multiply 4×6 which is 24 and divide by 2 which is 12
