The sum of two numbers is 50 and their difference is 4 what are the two numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

27 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem as a system of equations. X is the first number and Y is the second number.

The first equation is x+y = 50 and the second equation is x-y=4

Now we solve the system, using elimination method:

x+y=50

x-y=4

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

And from any of the equations we can find Y

27 + y = 50

y = 50 - 27

y = 23

Lilly estimated a quotient of 120 and found an actual quotient of 83. what should she do next? explain.
lubasha [3.4K]

After she worked out the problem, she had a discrepancy (disagreement) of
about 45% between her estimate and the quotient. 

That's a lot !  There's almost definitely a major mistake somewhere, and
there really isn't any way to tell whether the mistake is in the estimate or
in the quotient. 

My answer to the question is that Lilly has to go all the way back to the
beginning, and do the whole thing again. Only this time, she has a harder
job to do:  She not only has to make another estimate and work out the
division problem again.  This time, she also has to find the mistake that
she made the first time ... and there may be more than one of them.

Determine the point that lies on the equation y = -5x - 3.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

(4, -23)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • The equation, y = -5x -3

We are needed to determine the point that lies on the equation;

  • We need to know that for a point to be lying on the equation it must satisfy the equation.
  • This means when we use the value of x in the equation we should get the exact value of y of the given point;
  • Therefore, in this case;

Point (4, -23)

Replacing x = 4 in the equation;

y = -5(4) - 3

 = -23

Therefore, the point lies on the equation as the point satisfies the equation

Thus, the required point is (4, -23)
