X+y=62 ; x-y=12 Solve for x in one equation and plug that value into the other equation. ===> x=12+y ; 12+y+y=62 Subtract 12 to both sides (2y=50), then divide by 2 to find y (y=25). Now, plug 25 as y into x=12+y, getting x=37. Your two numbers are 37 and 25.

Answer:  The required numbers are 37 and 25.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the sum of two numbers is 62 and their difference is 12.

We are to find the numbers.

Let x and y represents he given numbers.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y=62~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\x-y=12~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

(x+y)+(x-y)=62+12\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=74\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{74}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=37.

And, from equation (i), we get

37+y=62\\\\\Rightarrow y=62-37\\\\\Rightarrow y=25.

Thus, the required numbers are 37 and 25.

siniylev [52]

Hello there!

Using the given exponential function of y = 64(0.97)^x, we can tell that it is a decaying exponential function since the rate is less than 1.

The percent of decrease is 3% since 97% of the value is retained per x time.

The least common multiple of two numbers is 3780, and the greatest common divisor is 18. given that one of the numbers is 180, w
garri49 [273]
<span>To solve these GCF and LCM problems, factor the numbers you're working with into primes: 
3780 = 2*2*3*3*3*5*7
180 = 2*2*3*3*5 
</span><span>We know that the LCM of the two numbers, call them A and B, = 3780 and that A = 180. The greatest common factor of 180 and B = 18 so B has factors 2*3*3 in common with 180 but no other factors in common with 180. So, B has no more 2's and no 5's
</span><span>Now, LCM(180,B) = 3780. So, A or B must have each of the factors of 3780. B needs another factor of 3 and a factor of 7 since LCM(A,B) needs for either A or B to have a factor of 2*2, which A has, and a factor of 3*3*3, which B will have with another factor of 3, and a factor of 7, which B will have. 
So, B = 2*3*3*3*7 = 378.</span>
