X+y=21
xy=110

x+y=21
subtract x form both sides
y=21-x
subsitute
x(21-x)=110
21x-x^2=110
add x^2-21x to both sides
0=x^2-21x+110
use quaratic formula which is
(-b+/-√(b^2-4ac)/(2a)=x
when you have it in the format of ax^2+bx+c=0 so

a=1
b=-21
c=110

input
two equations
(-(-21)+√(-21^2-4 times 1 times 110))/(2) or (-(-21)+√(-21^2-4 times 1 times 110))/2

the answer is
10 or 11

that is the answer

the ages are 10 and 11

Using the results from parts D through G, write an expression that represents the number of years elapsed between the disappeara
nlexa [21]

The mathematical expression to represent the number of years elapsed since the disappearance of Helike until the end of the American Civil War is:

  • T (years from Helike's disappearance to the end of the Civil War) = w + 373

To reach this conclusion we had to search for additional information and found that the year of the disappearance of the Greek city of Helike is -⅕ times the year the American Civil War ended.

  • Helike's disappearance year = (-w / 5)

According to the previous expression, the year of Helike's disappearance is:

  • Helike's disappearance year = (-1865/5) = -373

According to the previous data, it can be inferred that the expression that represents the number of years elapsed between the disappearance of the Greek city of Helike and the end of the US Civil War is:

  • T = w + 373
  • T = 1865 + 373
  • T = 2238

Note: This question is incomplete because the is some information missing. However, I can answer it based on my prior knowledge.

Anna007 [38]
For -4+3,
1. start with zero
2. move to left (-x axis) for 4 units (-4)
3. then move to right (+x axis) for 3 units (+3)

For 3+(-4)
1. Start with zero
2. Move the point to right side by 3 units (+3)
3. then move the point to the left by 4 units (-4)

For both you'll stop at -1.
