Answer:

The two numbers are 37.5 and 25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

Let the two numbers be x and y

Equations

x + y = 63

x - y =  12

Solution

Add the two equations. The ys cancel out.

2x = 75               Divide by 2

2x/2 = 75/3         Do the division

x = 37.5

Now use one of the given equations to solve for y

x + y = 63

x = 37.5

37.5 + y = 63                     Subtract 37.5 from both sides

37.5-37.5+y= 63 - 37.5     Collect the like terms on both sides

y = 25.5

Check

x - y =? 12

37.5-25.5 =? 12

12 = 12

Two cylinders have equal diameters. are their volumes also equal? is the same true for cones and spheres?
Paraphin [41]
<span>Although two cylinders may have equal diameters, their volumes are not necessarily equal, as the volume of a cylinder is dependent also on the cylinder's height. The same holds true for cones. Spheres, however, are, by nature, proportional. Therefore, if two spheres have the same diameter, they also have the same volumes.</span>

Look at the formula for the area of a circle below. . . A = 3.14(pi)r2 . . Which of the following equations can be used to solve
zaharov [31]
<span>You did not include the equations that you want to assess whether they can be used to solve for the radius (r). Likely, the equation of the circumference, C = 2*Pi*r is included, if so => r = C / (2*Pi). If you round Pi to 3.14, the equation may be written r = C / 6.28.</span>
