Let the two numbers be x and y.
The difference between the numbers is 4. Therefore
x - y = 4 (1)
The sum of one-half of each number is 18, therefore
x/2 + y/ 2 = 18
x + y = 36 (2)
Add equations (1) and (2).
(x - y) + (x + y) = 4 + 36
2x = 40
x = 20
From (2), obtain
y = 36 - x = 36 - 20 = 16.
Answer: The two numbers are 16 and 20.
0 because I don’t speak your language.
Any negative or positive number inside an absolute value will always come out positive.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
Process of elimination:
A: 1 or 2 is 2 favorable outcomes
2/6 or 1/3
one third of 300 is 100, not 50
B: 2, 4, and 6 are even numbers (3 favorable outcomes)
3/6 or 1/2
1/2 of 300 is 150
I say the answer is B. Sorry if I’m wrong.
