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.

How many negative roots will this function have? f(x) = x^7 – 2x^4 + 7x^2 + 2x – 2<br> help plsss
Vikentia [17]

There are two negative roots to the provided polynomial function

f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial is the combination of variables and constants systematically with "n" number of power in ascending or descending order.

\rm a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4..........a_nx^n

We have a polynomial function:

f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2

\rm f(x) =\left(x+1\right)\left(x^6-x^5+x^4-3x^3+3x^2+4x-2\right)

Using the zero product property:

\rm \left x+1\right = 0 \ \ \ or \left x^6-x^5+x^4-3x^3+3x^2+4x-2\right = 0

After solving:

x = -1, x = -0.853, and x = 0.418 (using the graph method)

Thus, there are two negative roots to the provided polynomial function

f(x) = x⁷ – 2x⁴ + 7x² + 2x – 2

Help with number 11 forgot how to do problem
Lelu [443]
The first equation can be written as:
2x = 5 + 3y

Substituting the second equation into the first equation and rearranging:
-4y - 16 = 5 + 3y
-21 = 7y
y = -3

Substituting y = -3 into the second equation:
x = -2(-3) - 8
x = -2
