Answer:

43 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let the two unknown numbers be a and b.

Their sum is 48, therefore:

a+b=48

And their difference is 38. In other words:

a-b=38

We now have a system of equations. To solve, we can use substitution. First, add b to both sides in the second equation:

a=38+b

Substitute this into the first equation:

(38+b)+b=48

Combine like terms:

2b+38=48

Subtract 38 from both sides:

2b=10

Divide both sides by 2:

b=5

So, one of the numbers is 5.

The sum of them is 48. Therefore, the other number is 48-5 or 43.

So, our two numbers are 43 and 5.

And we're done!

Andreyy89

\displaystyle\sum_{i=3}^{10}(2i-9)=2\sum_{i=3}^{10}i-9\sum_{i=3}^{10}1

Recall that

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n1=n

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^ni=\frac{n(n+1)}2

Your sums start at i=3, so in order to apply these formulas directly, you need to compensate for the missing first two terms:

\displaystyle\sum_{i=3}^{10}1=\sum_{i=1}^{10}1-(1+1)=10-2=8

\displaystyle\sum_{i=3}^{10}i=\sum_{i=1}^{10}i-(1+2)=\frac{10\cdot11}2-3=52

\implies\displaystyle\sum_{i=3}^{10}(2i-9)=2\cdot52-9\cdot8=\boxed{32}
