The sum of 2 numbers is 35. one number 23 more than the other. find the numbers.


Make two equations

The sum of 2 # is 35 : X+y=35

1 # 23 more than other : Y= x +23


In first equation substitute the second equation for y .


X+y =35

X+ (x+23)=35


Remove parenthesis


X+x+23= 35


Combine like terms


2x+23=35


Subtract 23 both sides

2x= 35-23


Divide both sides by 2

2x= 12


Solve 12/2

X=12/2


Answer for x

X=6


Now substitute your x answer into one original equation to solve for y.


x+y =35



6+y=35


Y= 35-6


Y= 29



To check substitute


X+y=35

29 +6 = 35


Your two numbers 29 and 6


I hope this helps

The half-life of a certain radioactive material is 78 hours. An initial amount of the material has a mass of 790 kg.. Write an e
adoni [48]
<span> half life i= 78 hours 
 amount after 78 hours is 395 kg: 
395 = 790e^(k*78) 

Dividing by 790 and taking natural log
ln (395/790) = (k*78) 
-0.6931 = 78k 
-0.00888 = k  

lets calculate  how much is left after 18 hours: 
Amount(18)
= 790e^(-0.00888*18) 
Amount = 673.301 kg

What would the sum of -18-(-12) be?
Mademuasel [1]
-18-(-12)=-6 
Since there is two negative sign, it turns into positive meaning the -12 becomes positive 12 and the -18 stays same. So -18+12=-6 because 18 is bigger than 12 and it's negative so the final answer should be negative. 
Hint: when you see two negative sign just turn them into plus sign.
