Answer: yes , it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y .Then , the sum of the two numbers will be x + y , and their difference will be x - y.

Combining the two , we have :

x + y = 1 ............................... equation 1

x - y = 8 ................................. equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method. From equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula ,

x = 1 - y ...................... equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2 ,

1 - y - y = 8

1 - 2y = 8

add 2y to both sides

1 = 8 + 2y

subtract 8 from both sides

1 - 8 = 2y

- 7 = 2y

divide through by 2

y = \frac{-7}{2}

y = - 3.5

substitute y = -3.5 into equation 3 to find the value of x , we have

x = 1 - y

x = 1 - ( - 3.5 )

x = 1 + 3.5

x = 4.5

Let us check :

x + y will be

4.5 + (-3.5) = 1

Also ,

x - y will be

4.5 - (-3.5)

⇒ 4.5 + 3.5 = 8

Petrina had a piece of red ribbon that measured 2.4 m long. she also had a piece of blue ribbon which was 7 8 m long. what was t
katen-ka-za [31]

The total length of red and blue ribbons is 10.2 m.

Given that, the length of the red ribbon =2.4 m and the length of the blue ribbon =7.8 m.

<h3>How to add two decimals?</h3>

Adding decimals is similar to the usual addition of whole numbers. We know that a decimal number is a number with a whole number part and a fractional part which is separated by a decimal point.

Now, the length of the red ribbon + the length of the blue ribbon=2.4+7.8

=10.2 m

Therefore, the total length of red and blue ribbons is 10.2 m.

Find the distance between each pair of numbers on the number line; then find the coordinate of their midpoint.
quester [9]

Answer:

d = 1 7/24 or 31/24;  midpoint would be half of that,or 31/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Since distance is absolute value, add 2/3 and 5/8 to get the entire distance.  Midpoint is that distance divided by 2.

4. A triangle with base (2x+2) and height (x-2) is cut out of a rectangular sheet of paper that is (3x+4) by (2x+3) what is the
juin [17]
So what we do is
area that remains=total area-triangle area that was cut out


we need to find 2 things
total area
triangle area

total area=rectange=base times height
area=(3x+4) times (2x+3)
FOIL or distribute
6x^2+8x+9x+12=6x^2+17x+12

triangle area=1/2 times base times height
triangle area=1/2 times (2x+2) times (x-2)=
(x+2) times (x-2)=x^2+2x-2x-4=x^2-4


so
total area=6x^2+17x+12
triangle area=x^2-4

subtract
area that remains=total area-triangle area that was cut out
area that remains=6x^2+17x+12-(x^2-4)=
6x^2+17x+12-x^2+4=
6x^2-x^2+17x+12+4=
5x^2+17x+16


area that remains is 5x^2+17x+16

Karen karlin bought some large frames for $15 each and some small frames for $8 each at a closeout sale. if she bought 22 frames
BaLLatris [955]

small frames ($8): s

large frames ($15): L


Cost:        8s + 15L = 239   ⇒ 1(8s + 15L = 239)   ⇒    8s + 15L = 239  

Quantity:   s  +   L   = 22   ⇒  -8( s  +   L   = 22)   ⇒  <u> -8s   -8 L  = -176 </u>

                                                                                               7L  = 63

                                                                                                  L = 9

Quantity:   s + L = 22 ⇒   s + (9) = 22   ⇒   s = 13

Answer: 13 small frames, 9 Large frames
