The sum of two numbers is 170, and their difference is 110. Which is the greater of the two numbers?

Hello!

You can make two expressions based on what you know

x + y = 170
x - y = 110

You can add these expressions to eliminate y

2x = 280

Divide both sides by 2

x = 140

You can now put x into one of the original expression

140 + y = 170

Subtract 140 from both sides

y = 30

So the greater number is 140

Hope this helps!

X+y=170
x-y=110
2x=280
x=140 is an answer
y=30

Answer:

D. 38%

Consider the square root function f(x) = sqrt x + 2 + 1 to complete the table of values below. find each missing value and then

Scrat [10]

Given the function :

$f(x)=\sqrt[]{x+2}+1$

We need to find each missing value

Given x = -3 , -2 , -1 , 2 , 7

So, substitute with each value of x to find the corresponding value of f(x)

$x=-3\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-3+2}+1=\sqrt[]{-1}+1$

So, there is no value for f(x) at x = -3 (the function undefined because the square root of -1)

$\begin{gathered} x=-2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{0}+1=0+1=1 \\ \\ x=-1\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{-1+2}+1=\sqrt[]{1}+1=1+1=2 \\ \\ x=2\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{2+2}+1=\sqrt[]{4}+1=2+1=3 \\ \\ x=7\rightarrow f(x)=\sqrt[]{7+2}+1=\sqrt[]{9}+1=3+1=4 \end{gathered}$

the graph of the function and the points will be as shown in the following image :
