------------------------------------------------------------
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
------------------------------------------------------------

A biased dice is thrown.
nexus9112 [7]

Given:

A biased dice is thrown 300 times.

Table of probabilities of each score.

To find:

The expected number of times the score will be odd.

Solution:

Odd numbers on the dice are 1, 3, 5. The sum of their probability is

0.15+0.25+0.3=0.7

Even numbers on the dice are 2, 4, 6. The sum of their probability is

0.05+0.05+0.2=0.3

Now, the expected number of times the score will be odd is

\text{Expected odd number}=300\times \text{Probability of getting an odd number}

\text{Expected odd number}=300\times 0.7

\text{Expected odd number}=210

Therefore, the expected number of times the score will be odd is 210.

On a straight road, a car speeds up at a constant rate from rest to 20 m/s over a 5 second interval and a truck slows at a const
KIM [24]
To determine the total distance traveled by an object in constant speed, just multiply the speed by the time. So, for the car, the total distance traveled is,
                               distance by car = (20 m/s)(5s) = 100 m
For decelerating object, the distance traveled is,
                          distance = Vt - (at^2)/2
For the truck,
         distance by truck = (20 m/s)(10s) - (2m/s^2)((10s)^2)/2 = 100 m

Relatively, both have traveled the same distance.
