I'm going to assume that you are trying to find the two numbers. Based on the information in the problem, we can create the following equations (where 
and 
are the two numbers):
We have a systems of equations. In this case, it would be easier to use elimination by adding vertically. This produces the result:
To find , substitute the value for into one of the earlier equations:
The two numbers are 12 and 18.
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
LP = 15 on one side
LR= 9 on the other side
____________________|____________|
P L R
add them and PR is 24
15+9= 24
2/3 hour . 1 hour = 60 minutes.
2/3 hour = (2/3) * 60
= 40 minutes.
20 pages took (2/3) hour = 40 minutes.
20 pages took her 40 minutes to read.
1 page = 40/20 = 2 minutes.
1 page took her 2 minutes to read.
Answer:
2x10^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factors.
Consider the equation y = x^2. No matter what x happens to be, the result y will never be negative even if x is negative. Example: x = -3 leads to y = x^2 = (-3)^2 = 9 which is positive.
Since y is never negative, this means the inverse x = sqrt(y) has the right hand side never be negative. The entire curve of sqrt(x) is above the x axis except for the x intercept of course. Put another way, we cannot plug in a negative input into the square root function for this reason. This similar idea applies to any even index such as fourth roots or sixth roots.
Meanwhile, odd roots such as a cube root has its range extend from negative infinity to positive infinity. Why? Because y = x^3 can have a negative output. Going back to x = -3 we get y = x^3 = (-3)^3 = -27. So we can plug a negative value into the cube root to get some negative output. We can get any output we want, negative or positive. So the range of any radical with an odd index is effectively the set of all real numbers. Visually this produces graphs that have parts on both sides of the x axis.
