Translate that into an equation, and we get:

a+b = 24
a-b = 15

If we add these two equations, we get:

2a = 39
a = 39/2 = 19.5

Plug back in a = 19.5 and solve for b

a + b = 24
19.5 + b = 24
b = 4.5

The two numbers are 19.5 and 4.5.

True or false? A triangle with sides of lengths 10, 24, and 27 is a right triangle.
Genrish500 [490]
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle. Also,
hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Checking if the equation, Pythagoras theorem, is satisfied:

27² = 10² + 24²
729 ≠ 676

Thus, this is not a right triangle.

The elementary school lunch menu repeats every 20 days ; the middle school lunch menu repeats every 15 days. Both schools are se
Vikki [24]
The trick to this question is the find the least common multiple of 20 and 15. You could do 20×3=60 and 15×4=60 as those both equal the same number yet you there are no other multiples they share before 60. So the next time the two schools will eat pizza on the same day again will be in 60 days. Hope this helps!
