The numbers are:  36 and 11 .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Let us represent the TWO (2) numbers with the variables;
         "x" and "y" .
__________________________________________
     x + y = 47 .

     y − x = 25.
__________________________________________
Since:  " y − x = 25 " ;

Solve for "y" in terms of "x" ;

  y − x = 25  ;

Add "x" to each side of the equation:
_____________________________________________
   y − x + x  = 25 + x  ;

to get:

   y = 25 + x .

Now, since:

  x + y = 47 ;

Plug in "(25 + x)" as a substitution for "y"; to solve for "x" :

x + (25 + x) = 47  ;

x + 25 + x + 47 ;

2x + 25 = 47 ;

Subtract "25" from each side of the equation:

2x + 25 − 25 = 47 − 25 ;

2x  = 22  ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 
 
2x / 2 = 22 / 2 ;

    x = 11 ;
______________________________________________
x + y = 47<span> ;

</span>Plug in "11" for "x" into the equation ; to solve for "y" ;

11 + y = 47 ;

Subtract "11" from EACH SIDE of the equation;
  to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

 11 + y − 11 =  47 − 11  ;

            y = 36 .
___________________________________________
So:  x = 11 , y = 36 ;
___________________________________________
 Let us check our work:

y − x = 25 ;

36 − 11 =? 25 ?  Yes!

x + y = 47 ;

36 + 11 =? 47 ? Yes!
______________________________________________
The numbers are:  36 and 11 .

What is the y-intercept of the line shown?
lys-0071 [83]
Simple.....

always remember the y-intercept is where your line hits the y-axis... or where it hits the vertical axis...

As we can see this line hits the y-axis at (0,3)-->> y-intercept=3

Thus, your answer.

A map of a rectangular park has a length of 4 inches and a width of 6 inches. It uses a scale of 1 inch for every 30 miles. What
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Actual area = 21600 Sq.miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

length; L = 4 inches

Width; W = 6 inches

The scale of the map; 1 inch for every 30 miles i.e. 1 : 30

Since the scale is 1:30, let's find the find the actual dimensions and then the actual area

For the Length,

Since 1 inch represents 30 miles,

Then, 4 inches = (4 × 30)/1 = 120 miles

For the width;

Since 1 inch represents 30 miles,

Then,6 inches = (6 × 30)/1 = 180 miles

Therefore, the actual dimensions are 120 miles and 180 miles

Now, formula for area of rectangle = length × width

Thus;

Actual area = 120 × 180

Actual area = 21600 Sq.miles
