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

The surface area of a cuboid is 102 cm2. If its length is 2 cm and its breadth is 3 cm, find its height.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Height h = 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Surface area of cuboid = 102 cm²

Length l = 2 cm

Breadth b = 3 cm

Find:

Height h

Computation:

Surface area of cuboid = 2[lb + bh + hl]

102 = 2[(2)(3) + (3)(h) + (h)(2)]

51 = 6 + 3h + 2h

45 = 5h

Height h = 9 cm
