Answer:

The numbers are:   '12' and '9'

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 'x' and 'y'

x+y=21    Equation:1

x-y=3      Equation:2

Finding the value of one variable from a equation and putting it in the other equation:

From equation:2

x-y=3

Adding 'y' both sides:

x=3+y      Equation:3

Put the 'x' in Equation:1

x+y=21

(3+y)+y=21

Adding the like terms:

3+2y=21

Subtracting '3' both sides:

2y=21-3\\\\2y=18

Dividing by '2' both sides:

y=18/2\\\\y=9

Put the value of 'y' in Equation:3

x=3+y

x=3+9\\\\x=12

The numbers are:   '12' and '9'

Midpoints of segment with endpoints. (-4,2) and (2,4)
sashaice [31]

Well! See ,If the endpoints are (x1,y1) & (x2,y2) then mid-point is given by (x1+x2)/2,

(y1+y2)/2

Here in this question endpoints given for the line segment are (-4,2) , (2,4) so we have to find mid-point for x and y co-ordinates by applying above rule.

So, the mid-point we get is (-4+2)/2 , (2+4)/2.

i.e. (-1,3) which lies in 2nd Co-ordinate!

Hope it helps!!

Can you find the perimeter of rectangle if you are given juat the measure of two sides?
Naddika [18.5K]
It depends, if the two sides given are adjacent to each other then yes. but you are given two opposite sides then no, because you don't know the length of one of the sides, thus not being able to calculate the perimeter

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10cm long. The longer leg is 2cm longer than the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the
Crazy boy [7]
We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b =  legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse

Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 +   S^2+4S+4  = 100 cm^2   [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S =  100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0   means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or                                   (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm

Please answer number 1 and 2 with ABC or D
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

1. (a) a+b=86

2. (c) 5.99a+9.99b≤600

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

a = amount of 16gb memory sticks

b = amount of 21gb memory sticks

Gary is buying a memory sticks for each of the 86 teachers. Therefore the total sum of both 16gb and 32gb memory sticks should equal 86:

a+b=86

2.

a = amount of 16gb memory sticks

b = amount of 21gb memory sticks

Each 16gb memory stick cost $5.99, and each 32gb one costs $9.99. Therefore...

5.99a = total cost of 16gb memory sticks

9.99b = total cost of 32gb memory sticks

Gary has to spent an amount less than or equal to $600. Therefore, the total sum of the costs of both 16gb and 32gb memory sticks should be less than or equal to 600:

5.99a+9.99b≤600
