------------------------------------------------------------
Define the two numbers
------------------------------------------------------------
Let one number be x and the other be y

------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations and solve
------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = -14 --------------- (1)
y - x = 12 ------------------(2)

------------------------------------------------------------
(1) + (2)
------------------------------------------------------------
2y = -2
y = -1

------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = -1 into (2)
------------------------------------------------------------
y - x = 12
-1 - x = 12
x = -1 -12
x = -13

------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: x = -13, y = -1
------------------------------------------------------------

Licemer1 [7]

Complete question :

The lifetimes of a certain type of calculator battery are normally distributed. The mean lifetime is 400 days, with a standard deviation of 50 days. For a sample of 6000 new batteries, determine how many batteries will last: 360 and 460 days

Answer:

0.67307

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean, m = 400

Standard deviation, s = 50

Sample size, n = 6000

Obtain the standardized score :

Zscore =(x - m) / s

For X = 360

P(x < 360)

Zscore =(360 - 400) / 50

Zscore = - 40 / 50

Zscore = - 0.8

P(Z < - 0.8) = 0.21186

For X = 460

P(x < 460)

Zscore =(460 - 400) / 50

Zscore = 60 / 50

Zscore = 1.2

P(Z < 1.2) = 0.88493

P(Z < 1.2) - P(Z < - 0.8)

0.88493 - 0.21186

= 0.67307

Find the value of x<br> DUE SUNDAY I NEED ASAP
Leto [7]

Answer:

x=43°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are adjacent and create a straight line so their sum is 180°.

(x+6)°+(3x+2)°=180°

x°+6°+3x°+2°=180°

4x°+8°=180°

4x°=172°

x=43°
