Hey there :)

Let us translate the words into mathematics!

The difference of 2 numbers is 3
x - y = 3

The sum of 2 numbers is 13
x + y = 13

(eq. 1) x - y = 3
(eq.2) x + y = 13
eq. 1 + eq.2 ⇒ x - y = 3
                     + x + y = 13   ( -y and +y cancels out )
                       2x = 16
                        \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{16}{2}
                       x = 8

We have the value of x, simply substitute it in either of the formulae to find y

x - y = 3 , 8 - y = 3 , 8 - 3 = y , 5 = y
x + y = 13 , 13 - 8 = y , 5 = y

x = 8 , y = 5

10. rhombus abcd has vertices at a(-2, 7), b(8, 7), c(2, -1), and d (-8, -1).
horrorfan [7]

Answer: 80

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula A=\frac{d_{1}d_{2}}{2}, where d_{1}, d_{2} are the lengths of the diagonals.

By the distance formula,

AC=\sqrt{(-2-2)^{2}+(-1-7)^{2}}=\sqrt{16+64}=4\sqrt{5}\\BD=\sqrt{(-8-8)^{2}+(-1-7)^{2}}=\sqrt{256+64}=8\sqrt{5}

So, the area is \frac{(4\sqrt{5})(8\sqrt{5})}{2}=\boxed{80}
