This is a poor definition because it is not descriptive. If you would have said, "Elephants are an animal that have gigantic feet and gigantic bodies. Elephants also have a trunk that they use to drink water. Along with the trunk elephants also have a mouth." Yes elephant are a gigantic animal, but you have to have reasoning something to back it up or just make it more unique.

Two numbers whose sum is 29 and their difference is 15
n200080 [17]

Answer:

22 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers we are looking for:

The statement “their sum is 29” means x + y = 29

The statement “their difference is 15” means x - y = 15

we get this system:

x + y = 29 (1)

x - y = 15   (2)

Let’s solve it :

(1) + (2) ⇒ x + y + x - y = 29 + 15 ⇒ 2x = 44 ⇒ x = 44/2 = 22

Now we replace x by 22 in equation (1) :

22 + y = 29  ⇒ y = 29 - 22 = 7

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

20 %

Step-by-step explanation:

% Increase = Increase/Original value × 100 %

Data:

 Original = $25

This year = $30

Calculations:

   Increase =  This year - original

                  =         30       -      25

                  =                   $5

% Increase = 5/25 × 100 %

                  = 20 %

The percent increase of the price of the necklace was 20 %.
