Let one of the numbers be x and the other be y.

The sum of the two numbers is 361:
⇒ x + y = 361

The difference between the two number is 173:
⇒x - y = 173

To solve this, we will make x the subject in one equation and substitute it into the other equation.

equation 1: x + y = 361
equation 2: x - y = 173

From equation 1:
x + y = 361
x = 361 - y 

Now that we make x the subject, we will substitute it into the equation 2:

x - y = 173
(361 - y) - y = 173
361 - y - y = 173
361 - 2y = 173
2y = 361 - 173
2y = 188
y = 94

Now that we know that y = 94, we substitute it into equation 1 to find the value of x.

x + y = 361
x + 94 = 361
x = 361 - 94
x = 267

-------------------------------------------------
The two numbers are 267 and 94.

the length of a rectangle is 2ft more than twice the width. The area is 180 ft^2. find the length and width of the rectangle
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Area = length * width

 

112 = (2w+2)*w

 

112 = 2w^2 + 2w

 

0 =2w^2 + 2w - 112

 

0 = w^2 + w - 56

 

0 = (  w  +  8  )( w  -    7  )

 

w+8=0  results in negative measures

 

w-7=0 --> w = 7

 

width is 7

length is 16

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

2000= 600+2/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

length = X Ft

(2/5)x+600=2000

multiple both sides by 5/2:

x + 1500= 5000

x= 3500 ft
