The sum of two numbers is 70. one number is 8 more than the other. what's the smaller number?

1 answer:

4 0

X=8+y
x+y=70

Rewrite the first equation to x-y=8
Copy the second equation x+y=70

Add the two equations and you get 2x=78
Therefore, x=39. Since this is the bigger number the smaller number(y) would have to be 31 because you subtract 8 from x which is 39. 39 is your answer.

An observation deck extends 120 feet out above a valley. The deck sits 70 feet above the valley floor. If an object is dropped f

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height formula given is:

h = -16t^2 + 70

That means the object will be initially (t=0) at the height 70 feet, from where it will be dropped.

If we want to know the time when the object will be at height 6 feet, we just need to use h=6 in the equation, and then calculate the value of t:

6 = -16t^2 + 70

16t^2 = 64

t^2 =4

t = 2 s

So, it will take 2 seconds for the object to be 6 feet above the valley floor.
