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

Alright, so we plug (-2) in for x. (-2)^2 =4, and we can plug that in as 4(4)+(-2)+5. Next, 4*4=16, so we get 15+(-2)+5. After that, we get 15-2+5=18

<h2>A = 0.625</h2>

There are 8 points between 1 and 0 so divide 1 by 8.

1 / 8 = 0.125

Each point has a value of 0.125.

You can minus 0.125 from 1 until you reach A.

Or you can multiple 0.125 by the number of points from 0 to A, including A.

1 - 0.125 - 0.125 - 0.125 = 0.625

0.125 * 5 = 0.625

<h2>A = 0.625</h2>
