Let, the numbers = x,y

x+y= 24   1st eqn

x-y = 44   2nd eqn

24-y-y = 44

-2y = 44-24

y = 20/-2 = -10

substitute that in equation 1st x = 24+10 = 34

so, the numbers would be 34 & -10

How do you translate a figure in a coordinate plane
Helga [31]

To translate a figure on a coordinate plane, it is basically moving it so many units horizontally or so many units vertical by counting the amount of units you have on weather it is positive or negative. If it looks like (7,-2) The 7 is your x value, so you would move it 7 to the right and place your first point there and do that to the rest of your points. Now the -2 is your y value, so you would move your first point down 2 and do that to the rest of your points!

Two points move along a circle of length 120m with a constant speed. If they move in different directions, then they meet every
KiRa [710]

Let x and y be the speeds of the two points. The circle is of length 120m that is Circumference of circle is 120m.When the points are moving in opposite directions, they meet in every 15 seconds.That is the points cover 120m in 15 seconds.As they are moving in opposite directions, so the relative speed will be equal to the sum of speeds of both points.Speed= Distance ÷Time = 120÷15=8m per seconds.

x+y=8

When going in the same direction, one point catches up to the second every 60 seconds.Speed= 120÷60=2 m per seconds

x-y=2.

Solving the two equations by elimination method:

x+y=8.

x-y=2

Adding the equations:

2x=10 ,x=5m / sec.

x+y=8

5+y=8

y=3m/sec.

Thus, the speed of the two points is 5 m/s and 3 m/s.

Find the value of x. Then find the missing angle measures of the polygon.
Naily [24]

The sum of the angles equals 540

There are 3 angles that measure (x - 30) and 2 angles that measure (x)

3(x - 30) + 2(x) = 540

3x - 90 + 2x = 540

5x - 90 = 540

5x = 630

x = 126

x - 30   = 126 - 30   = 96

Answer: x = 126,  x-30 = 96
