Let x is one positive number
<span>One positive number is 12 times another positive number 12x
</span>12x - x = 143
11x = 143
x = 143/11
x = 13

12x = 12(13) = 156

answer: 2 numbers are 13 and 156

double check:

<span>difference between the two numbers is 143
</span>156 - 13 = 143

Let x be the unknown number and let's set up an equation.
12x - x = 143
Now solve for x:
11x = 143
x = 13
The positive number is 13.

When you write URGENT the Brainly cops think you may be taking a test.

y = ax² + c thru (-1,4) and (0,8)

Substituting in the coordinates of each point for x and y gives two equations:

4 = a  (-1)² + c

8 = a (0²) + c = c

From the second one we see c=8.  Substituting into the first one,

4= a + 8

a = 4-8 = -4

Answer: a=-4, c=8

Check:

f(x) = -4x² + 8

f(0) = 8, good

f(-1) = -4(1) + 8 = 4, good

The distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. What is 50% of that distance?
Marina86 [1]

Answer: 128.5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that the distance by road from town A to town B is 257 km. To get 50% of the distance, we simply have to multiply the distance given by 50%. This will be:

= 50% × 257km

= 50/100 × 257km

= 0.5 × 257km

= 128.5km

Therefore, 50% of the distance is 128.5km.
