Answer:

The two numbers are x = 8 and y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

The difference of two numbers is 3 is represented as:

x - y = 3------------------Equation 1

Their sum is 13 is represented as:

x + y = 13----------------Equation 2

x - y = 3------------------Equation 1

Using method of Elimination by subtracting Equation 1 from Equation 2

x-x + y-(-y) = 13 - 3

2y = 10

y = 10/2

y = 5

Substituting y = 5 in Equation 2

x + 5 = 13

x = 13 - 5

x = 8

∴ The two numbers are x = 8 and y = 5

5,-30,180,-1,080 what are the two next numbers
Sedbober [7]

Answer: The next two numbers are 6,480, -38,880.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pattern is to multiply each consecutive term by (-6).  Understand that a negative number times a positive number is a negative number (eg: 5 x - 6 = -30).

A negative number times a negative number is a positive number

(eg: -30 x -6 = 180).  Also, (-1,080 x -6 = 6,480.)  (6,480 x -6 = 38,880).

Hope this helps.

Find the value of X <br><br>Anyone think they can help me with this?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment that is x units long is the midsegment of the largest triangle. The midsegment is half as long as the line parallel to the midsegment. It is half as long as the 30 unit long segment.

Note how the vertical sides (marked with the double tickmarks) are congruent to one another. The smaller pieces are both the same length, so they combine to something twice as big. Go in reverse: one segment with a pair of double tickmarks is exactly half as long as the entire vertical side. The same can be said about the horizontal sides as well.
