Let's say x to the first number and y to the second one.
We add them : x+y=9
Then we substract them : x-y=3
Now we add the equations: 

(x+y)+(x-y)=9+3\\ x+x+y-y=12\\ 2x=12\\ \\ x=\frac { 12 }{ 2 } \\ \\ x=6

and finally rewrite the equation:

6+y=9\\ y=9-6\\ y=3\\ \\ x=6\quad and\quad y=3

X, y - the numbers

The sum of the two numbers is 9.
x+y=9

If one number is subtracted from the other, the result is 3.
x-y=3

Solve the system of equations:
x+y=9 \\
\underline{x-y=3} \\
x+x=9+3 \\
2x=12 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x=6 \\ \\
x+y=9 \\
6+y=9 \ \ \ |-6 \\
y=3

The numbers are 6 and 3.

Whats the vertex at of y-13=2(x+4)^2
Kipish [7]
The vertex form:
y=a(x-h)^2+k
(h,k) - the coordinates of the vertex

y-13=2(x+4)^2 \\
y=2(x+4)^2+13 \\
y=2(x-(-4))^2+13 \\ \\
h=-4 \\ k=13

The coordinates of the vertex are (-4,13).

Step-by-step explanation:

49.05 is the sale price and the discount is 55%. What’s the original price?

price/ 1- discount

49.05/ 1 - 0.55

49.05/ 0.45

for the other part

to find the discount subtract final price from original price

94 - 61.10 = 32.9
