Equation 1, sum of the numbers:

x + y = 53

Equation 2, difference of the numbers:

x - y = 25

System of equations:

x + y = 53
x - y = 25
----------------
2x = 78

x = 39

Solve for y:

39 + y = 53

y = 14

The numbers are 39 and 14.

John is going on a trip and the country he is traveling to uses the Celsius scale. He is curious about converting Celsius temper
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

f(x)=\dfrac{9}{5}x+32 converts Celsius to Fahrenheit.

g(x)=\dfrac{5(x-32)}{9} converts Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write given data in the table

\begin{array}{cc}x&f(x)\\^{\circ}\text{C}&^{\circ}\text{F}\\20&68\\30&86\end{array}

Let the expression for the function be

f(x)=ax+b

Note, that this equation is linear equation and it is well-known fact that the Celsius to Fahrenheit dependence is linear.

Substitute corresponding values into this expression:

68=20a+b\\ \\86=30a+b

Subtract these two equations:

86-68=30a-20a\\ \\10a=18\\ \\a=\dfrac{9}{5}

Substitute it into the first equation:

68=20\cdot \dfrac{9}{5}+b\Rightarrow b=68-36=32

So,

f(x)=\dfrac{9}{5}x+32

This is the function which converts Celsius to Fahrenheit.

And function

g(x)=\dfrac{5(x-32)}{9} converts Fahrenheit to Celsius.
