The sum of two numbers is 65 and the difference of those two numbers is -18

joja [24]

Answer:

41.5

23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by calling the two numbers we are looking for x and y.

The sum of x and y is 65. In other words, x plus y equals 65 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 65

The difference between x and y is -18. In other words, x minus y equals -18 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = -18

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x = -18 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 65

-18+y+y=65

-18 + 2y = 65

2y = 83

y = 41.5

Now we know y is 41.5. Which means that we can substitute y for 41.5 in equation A and solve for x:

x + y = 65

x + 41.5= 65

X = 23.5

DIfference : 23.5 - 41.5 = 18

Sum: 41.5 +23.5 = 65

Hence, The two number are 23.5 and 41.5

Fill in the missing expression

padilas [110]

Answer:

The complete table is:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ 0 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

Explanation:

You can determine the content of each box by subtraction, running the rows and the columns.

The expressions are:

[ 5a ] + [ ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ ] + [ ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

1. First row:

[ 5a ] + [ ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

[ ] = [10a+ 3] - [ 4a ] - [ 5a ] = 10a - 4a - 5a + 3 = a + 3

2. Second colum:

[ a + 3 ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 3a + 8 ]

[ ] = [ 3a + 8 ] - [ a + 3 ] - [ 4 + a ] = 3a - a + a + 8 - 4 - 3 = a + 1

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

3. Complete the row 3:

[ ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

[ ] = [ 1 ] - [ a + 1 ] - [ -3a ] = - a + 3a + 1 - 1 = 2a

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

4. Complete the fourth column:

[ 10a + 3 ] + [ ] + [ 1 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[ ] = 10a + 2b + 8 - 10a - 3 - 1 = 2b + 4

So far, this is the results:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

5. Complete the second row:

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

[ ] = [ 2b + 4 ] - [ 2b ] - [ 4 + a ] = 2b - 2b + 4 - 4 - a = - a

So far:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

6. Complete the first colum:

[ 5a ] + [ 2b ] + [2a ] = [ ]

[ ] = [ 7a + 2b ]

So far:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

7. Complete the last row:

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ] - [ 7a + 2b ] - [ 3a + 8 ] = 0

The complete table is:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ 0 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]
