Working: 3x + (3x - 16) = 136
6x - 16 = 136
6x = 152
x = 25 1/3
(longer piece) = 76 ft
(shorter piece) = 60ft

What two numbers have a sum of -7 and a difference of 14?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 14 and their difference is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

"2 numbers (x and y)

x+y = 14

and x-y + 10

If you each equation by positive 2, one gets 2x+2y = 28 and 2x-2y = 20

The 'y-terms' cancel out or equal zero when adding, so 4x = 48, divide by 4 on each side and x or the first number equals 12.

Plug 12 back into the equation for 'x' and subtract 12 on both sides so that y=2

The difference of 12-2=10 and the addition of 12 and 2 equals 14"

hopes this helps
