The sum of two numbers is 17

Mathematics
1 answer:
swat323 years ago
6 0

Answer:

10 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be A and B

The sum of the two numbers is 17.

That’s

A + B = 17

The difference of the numbers is 3

A - B = 3

We now have two equations

1. A + B = 17

2 . A - B = 3

Subtract equation two from equation one.

B - - B = B + B = 2B

2B = 14

Divide both sides by 2

2B/2 = 14/2

B = 7

Now substitute 7 for B into either of the equations to get A.

Using equation 1 we have

A + B = 17

A + 7 = 17

Subtract 7 from both sides

A - 7 = 17 - 7

A = 10

The numbers are 10 and 7

The number of bacteria in a colony growing exponentially. At 4 pm yesterday the number of bacteria is 400.And at 6 pm yesterday
Doss [256]

Answer:

10800

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacteria in a colony growing exponentially. At 4 pm yesterday the number of bacteria is 400.And at 6 pm yesterday it was 3600. How many bacteria in the colony at 7 pm?

Step-by-step explanation:

B = B₀ Kⁿ

At 4 pm yesterday the number of bacteria is 400

B₀ = 400

n = number of hrs

at 6 pm yesterday it was 3600 => n =  6- 4 = 2 hrs

B₂ = 3600

=> 3600 = 400 * k²

=> k² =  9

=> k = 3

At 7 Pm Yesterday

n = 7-4 = 3

B₃ = 400 * 3³

=> B₃ = 27 * 400

=> B₃ = 10800

bacteria in the colony at 7 pm = 10800

or B₂ = 3600 & n = 7-6 = 1

Then B₃ = 3600 * 3¹ = 10800

And boom here
