Suppose the numbers are a and b

You are given that a-b=20 and a+b=14

So adding these we get,
$a - b + a + b = 20 + 14$
$2a = 34$
$a = 17$
You are given that a-b 20 therefore
$17 - b = 20$
$b = 20 - 17$
$b = 3$
Hope it helps you

The temperature, t, in Burrtown starts at 21°F at midnight, when h = 0. For the next few hours, the temperature drops 4 degrees

sweet-ann [11.9K]

In this case the temperature depends on the hour. So temperature is your X and hour is your Y variable. When h=0, x=0. So the 21*C is you x=0 or y-int point.

If we are trying to match the equation for a line of y=mx+b, 21*C=b.

Our rate of change is -4*C/h, which is our m variable.

So y=(-4)x+(21)

OR in this case, t=-4h+21.
