X + y = 8
x - y = 12
--------------add
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10

x + y = 8
10 + y = 8
y = 8 - 10
y = -2

ur numbers are 10 and -2

let the two numbers be: x y

x + y = 8

x - y = 12

Isolate the x in x + y = 8. Subtract y from both sides

x + y (-y) = 8 (-y)

x = 8 - y

Plug in 8 - y for x in the other equation

x - y = 12

(8 - y) - y = 12

Simplify

8 -2y = 12

Isolate the y. Subtract 8 from both sides, and then divide by -2

8 (-8) - 2y = 12 (-8)

-2y = 4

-2y/-2 = 4/-2

y = -2

Plug in -2 for y in one of the equations

x + y = 8

x + (-2) = 8

Simplify. Isolate the x. Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 (+2) = 8 (+2)

x = 10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

x = 10, y = -2 is your answer

The circle shows the radius of 12mm what is the circumference
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

24π or about 75.4 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is denoted by C = 2πr, where r is the radius.

Here, we see that r = 12, so plugging this in:

C = 2πr

C = 2π * 12 = 24π ≈ 75.4 mm

The answer is thus 24π or about 75.4 mm.

every prime number greater than 10 has a digit in the ones place that is included in which set of numbers below?
stich3 [128]
So we can start with the full of possibilities and eliminate them one by one.

The full set is {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}.

Now we know that any prime greater than 2 is odd as otherwise it would have 2 as a factor, so we can eliminate all of these digits that would be an even number, leaving:

{1,3,5,7,9}

We also know that any prime greater than 5 cannot be a multiple of 5 and that all numbers with 5 in the digits are a multiple of 5, so we can eliminate 5.

{1,3,7,9}

We know that 11,13,17 and 19 are all primes, so we cannot eliminate any more of these, leaving the set:

{1,3,7,9} as our answer.

A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 188 and a standard deviation of 20.8. Find the probability that a randomly sel
padilas [110]

Answer:0.8413

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean= 188, Std Dev. =20.8, Z=(x-mean)/Std Dev

P(X less than 167.2)= P(Z less than (167.2-188)/20.8)

=P(Z less than (-20.8/20.8))

=P(z less than -1)= P(Z less 1)

The value of 1 in the normal distribution table is 0.3413

So we add 0.5 to 0.3413 =0.8413
