Answer:

f(t)=t Alejandro.

f(t)=2t Carly.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we express this as a relation we could called <em>t </em> the time in minutes and <em>f(t) </em>the total number of pages. So, after <em>t = 1 min, </em>Alejandro read 1 page, and Carly read 2 pages. When Alejandro finishes 28 pages, the time passed is 28 min, when Carly finishes 12 pages, the times passed is 6 min.

So, we can express each speed of reading like a ratio:

Alejandro: 1\frac{page}{min}

Carly: 2\frac{page}{min}

Also, we could define a function for each of them.

Alejandros' function:

y-28=1(x-28)\\ y=x-28+28\\y=x \ or \ f(t)=t

Carly's function:

y-12=2(x-6)\\ y=2x-12+12\\y=2x \ or \ f(t)=2t

Therefore, the relations are:

f(t)=t Alejandro.

f(t)=2t Carly.

Two numbers have a sum of 1,212 and a difference of 518. What are the two numbers?
guapka [62]

Answer:

The two numbers are

518

694

Step-by-step explanation:

As per requirements the two equations will be

X+Y=1212

X-Y=518

When we subtract these equations we get

X=1212-518

X=694

Now put the X value and find the Y value in any equation

X+Y= 1212

Y=1212-X

Where X = 694

Y=1212-694

Y=518

X=694 and Y=518
