The difference of two numbers is 16 and the sum of their squares is 130. What are the numbers.

1 answer:

4 0

x - y = 16
x^2 + x^2 = 130

----------------
x^2 - y^2 = 256
+(x^2 + y^2 = 130)
2x^2 = 386
x^2 = 193
x = 13.892 (3DP)
----
x - y = 16
13.892 - y = 16
-y = 2.108
y = -2.108
The numbers are: 13.892 and -2.108

Answer:

compile the list of the 300 prostate patients considering various diversities i.e. various ages, various stages of the disease, various racial, social and economic background , various lifestyles as well.
divide the sample into two groups, ensuring that each group is diversified equally
Assign each group to the one of the two treatment procedures
follow up on the different group after treatment
compare the measurable variables from both groups after treatment in order to determine which treatment method is best

Students in Miss Moseley's fourth grade class are learning multiplication, and they demonstrate mastery by passing assessments.

blagie [28]

Answer:
Each will have passed 17 tests and it will take 3 weeks.

Explanation: 
Let x be the number of weeks.
The number of tests Travis passes to begin with is 11.
We then add 2 tests per week, or 2x to that, giving us:
11+2x.

The number of tests Jenifer has passed to begin with is 2.
We then add 5 tests per week, or 5x to that, giving us:
2+5x.

Setting these equal, we have: 
11+2x=2+5x.

Subtract 2x from each side: 
11+2x-2x=2+5x-2x;
11=2+3x.

Subtract 2 from each side: 
11-2=2+3x-2;
9=3x.

Divide both sides by 3:
 $\frac{9}{3} = \frac{3x}{3}$ ;
3=x.

It will take 3 weeks.
In 3 weeks,
Travis will have passed:
11+2*3 = 11+6 = 17 tests.
Jenifer will have passed the same number, since she catches up with him at this point.

Who do I do this problem

Leviafan [203]

You subtract 16 from each side of the equation.
Then it will say exactly what number 'n' is.
_______________________________________

The equation is n + 16 = 9

On the left side, you subtract 16 from (n + 16) and you have 'n'.

On the right side, you subtract 16 from 9 and you have -7 .

Now the equation says n = -7
