No it is an irrational number because it is a decimal with repeating numbers.
If the difference is always -4.5, then it is always -4.5 times something, so that it changes -4.5 ever 1 number. This means that our equation is y=-4.5x. From there, we can add any constant, as it will not change the difference. I will leave that up to you to pick, so the equation is y=-4.5x+C, where C is any real number.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Because -5 is a negative number and the opposite of negative is positive and 5 is positive.
So 20% is 1/5 and 1/5 of 55 is 11. That means there are in total 11 blue candies if 1/5 of them is damaged then technically 2.2 of them are which is kinda weird as it doesn't give whole number
Lets say x is the smaller number and y is the bigger number.
x + y = 436
x + 134 = y
We can substitute the second equation into the first (substitute x + 134 in for y)
x + (x+134) = 436
2x + 134 = 436
2x = 302
x = 151
We can now plug this back into either formula (i use the second)
151 + 134 = b
b = 285
The 2 numbers are 151 and 285
