Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Small number = x - 14

Large number = x

x + x - 14 = 56

2x = 70

x = 35

Small number = 35 - 14 = 21

Large number = 35

Answer: small number = 21, big number = 35

Step-by-step explanation: let small number= x, big number= y

X+y=56

X-y =-14

Solving simultaneously adding the two equations

2x =42

X= 21

Substitute x in the first equations

21 +y =55

Y= 56-21

Y= 35

Explain why a positive times a negative is a negative number.
prohojiy [21]

Explanation:

This can be explained by thinking numbers on the number line as:

Lets take we have to multiply a positive number (say, 2) with a negative number say (-3)

<u>2×(-3)</u>

Suppose someone is standing at 0 on the number line and to go to cover -3 , the person moves 3 units in the left hand side. Since, we have to compute for 2×(-3), The person has to cover the same distance twice. At last, he will be standing at -6, which is a negative number.

A image is shown below to represent the same.

<u>Thus, a positive times a negative is a negative number.</u>

If a 4 x 16 rectangle has the same area as a square, what is the length of a side of the square?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Option D. 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of rectangle

The area of rectangle is

A=(4)(16)=64\ units^2

step 2

Find the length side of the square with the same area of rectangle

The area of a square is

A=b^2

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

A=64\ units^2

substitute

64=b^2

take the square root both sides

b=8\ units

therefore

The length side of the square is 8 units
