Answer:

-11

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic solution to ...

a + b = sum
a - b = difference

Can be found by adding the two equations:

(a+b) + (a-b) = (sum) + (difference)

2a = (sum + difference)

a = (sum + difference)/2

___

Our particular solution is ...

a = (-44 +22)/2 = -11

The greater of the two numbers is -11.

___

The other number is -33.

Damm [24]

$(a-b)(a-b)=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\a^2-2ab+b^2=a^2-b^2\\2b^2=2ab\\b^2=ab\implies a=b \vee b=0$

So, sometimes.

Answer:

990, C

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the surface area of the bottom cushion is

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw (w is width, l is length, h is height)

w = 18, l = 21, h = 3

A = 2(18)(21) + 2(21)(3) + 2(3)(18)

A = 2(378) + 2(63) + 2(54)

A = 756 + 126 + 108

A = 990 (C)

Ede4ka [16]

Given the sum:

$\begin{gathered} -3x^4-3x^3+x^2 \\ \ldots\ldots-2x^3-x^2-8x+6 \end{gathered}$

The sum is given below:

Therefore, the sum of the polynomials is:

$-3x^4-5x^3-8x+6$
