Answer:
monday,12 quart paint=34hour
Tuesday,12quart paint=54 hour
54 hour_34hour=20 hour difference
Slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so
slope beteen (7,-11) and (-5,-8) is
(-8-(-11))/(-5-7)=(-8+11)/(-12)=3/-12=-1/4
slope=-1/4
X equals negative 4 ( x=-4)
Let a be the bigger number and b the smaller.
So a-b=44
and a^2+b=376376
(44+b)^2+b=376376
b^2+89b -374440=0
Solve for b and you get a. Are you sure it is 376376 not 376?
'consequently' or 'accordingly'.
(Now you know why we usually use 'so'.)
