Answer:

103 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A + B = 171

A - B = 35

Add the two expressions to eliminate B.

B + (-B) = B - B = 0

We have

2A = 206

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate A

2A/2 = 206/2

A = 103

Now substitute 103 for A in either expression to get B

Using the first expression , we have

A + B = 171

103 + B = 171

Subtract 103 from both sides

103 - 103 + B = 171 - 103

B = 68

The numbers are 103 and 68

Check

103 + 68 = 171

103 - 68 = 35

Answer:

103 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

since the difference has to be 35 subtract 35 from 171 (equals 136) then divide it by 2, you get 68 which is your first number, then add 35 back and get 103 for the second number, I hope this helped

Pls help me, I dont get the question. Polynomials

AnnZ [28]

The given polyn. is not in std. form. To answer this question, we need to perform the indicated operations (mult., addn., subtrn.) first and then arrange the terms of this poly in descending order by powers of x:

P(x) = x(160 - x) - (100x + 500)

When this work has been done, we get P(x) = 160x - x^2 - 100x - 500, or

P(x) = -x^2 + 60x - 500

So, you see, the last term is -500. This means that if x = 0, not only is there no profit, but the company is "in the hole" for $500.
