Two numbers have a difference of 0.85 and a sum of 1 what are the numbers?

let the two numbers be: x & y

x - y = 0.85

x + y = 1

Isolate the x. Subtract y from both sides

x + y (-y) = 1 (-y)

x = 1 - y

Plug in 1 - y for x in the other equation

x - y = 0.85

(1 - y) - y = 0.85

Simplify

1 - 2y = 0.85

Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

1 (-1) - 2y = 0.85 (-1)

-2y = -0.15

-2y/-2 = -0.15/-2

y = -0.15/-2

y = 0.075

Plug in 0.075 into one of the equations

x = 1 - y

x = 1 - (0.075)

x = 0.925

hope this helps

X - y = 0.85
x + y = 1
----------------add
2x = 1.85
x = 1.85/2
x = 0.925

x + y = 1
0.925 + y = 1
y = 1 - 0.925
y = 0.075

so ur 2 numbers are : 0.925 and 0.075

Write an equation in a point-slope form that passes through the given point with the given slope (3, 5), m = -4 and-1, 8), m = ½
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y-5=-4(x-3)}\\\boxed{y-8=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

m=-4,\ (3,\ 5)\\\\y-5=-4(x-3)

m=\dfrac{1}{2},\ (-1,\ 8)\\\\y-8=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-(-1))\\\\y-8=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+1)

The dose of a strong cough medicine might be which of the following? 2mL, 200mL, 2L
Margarita [4]
To find the answer,we can picture how much the above value is by objects in real life.

2mL = about two drops of water

200mL = about a carton of milk/ a box of ornage juice

2L = 2000 × 10 mL = 20000 mL = The bottle of drinks that are in family/party size.

As we only take in small dosages of medicine, the best option would be 2mL.

Hope it helps!
