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.

Naya [18.7K]
It is not correct. 

The student found the volume by multiplying the base area with the height. He forgot to divide it by 3.

Formula to find the volume of the pyramid = 1/3 base area x height

volume = 1/3 x 92 x 54 = 1656 square meters

Pluto is looking into joining a gym. He has a budget of $68 per month. The gym he wants to join has fees based on the number of
Artist 52 [7]
7(10 visits) ≤ 68
70 ≤ 68
Not Viable


7(9 visits) ≤ 68
63 ≤ 68
Viable


The first solution is not viable because 10 visits will give a total cost of $70 per month, which is $2 over his monthly budget of $68.

The second solution is viable. He could visit the gym a maximum of 9 times per month for a total of $63 a month and that will be under his $68 monthly budget.

Hope this helps! :)
