Answer:

The numbers are 91 and 81

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

x be the first number.

y be the second number.

The sum of two numbers is 172.

x + y = 172

Their difference is 10.

x - y = 10

Try to arrange for solving x:

x - y = 10

x = 10 + y

Now substitute the x to the first equation.

x + y = 172

(10 + y) + y = 172

10 + y + y = 172

10 + 2y = 172

2y = 172 - 10

2y = 162

y = 162 ÷ 2

y = 81

Now solve for x:

x + y = 172

x + (81) = 172

x = 172 - 81

x = 91

Now let's check one more time:

The sum of two numbers is 172:

91 + 81 = 172

172 = 172 (correct)

Their difference is 10:

91 - 81 = 10

10 = 10 (correct)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x , y two numbers : x+y =172.....(1)

x - y = 10...(2)

add (1) and (2) :2x= 182

so : x = 182/2= 91

put x = 91 in (1) : 91+y =172

y = 172 - 91 = 81

The population of DeSoto rose an

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Please check explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make an interpretation

From the question, we have that initially when the count was started, there were 5,428 people; this means that the initial value of the data is 5,428

For the rate of change, we have that there is an average increase of 142 people for each of 5 years;

That means per 5 years, there is an increase of 142 people and this is what represents the rate of change

Which fraction is equivalent to 2/5? <br> A. 4/10 <br> B. 2/10 <br> C. 1/2 <br> D. 4/6

Lelechka [254]

Hey there James!

So, just remember, 2/5 is almost half of 1.

When it is almost half of 1, this means that it would have to be 2.5/5

This would mean that 4/10 would be your answer, because it is almost half of 1 also.

Hope this helps.

Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve (a lemniscate)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$m=\frac{9}{13}$ and $b=\frac{40}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of curve is

$2(x^2+y^2)^2=25(x^2-y^2)$

We need to find the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point (-3, 1).

Differentiate with respect to x.

$2[2(x^2+y^2)\frac{d}{dx}(x^2+y^2)]=25(2x-2y\frac{dy}{dx})$

$4(x^2+y^2)(2x+2y\frac{dy}{dx})=25(2x-2y\frac{dy}{dx})$

The point of tangency is (-3,1). It means the slope of tangent is $\frac{dy}{dx}_{(-3,1)}$ .

Substitute x=-3 and y=1 in the above equation.

$4((-3)^2+(1)^2)(2(-3)+2(1)\frac{dy}{dx})=25(2(-3)-2(1)\frac{dy}{dx})$

$40(-6+2\frac{dy}{dx})=25(-6-2\frac{dy}{dx})$

$-240+80\frac{dy}{dx})=-150-50\frac{dy}{dx}$

$80\frac{dy}{dx}+50\frac{dy}{dx}=-150+240$

$130\frac{dy}{dx}=90$

Divide both sides by 130.

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{9}{13}$

If a line passes through a points $(x_1,y_1)$ with slope m, then the point slope form of the line is

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

The slope of tangent line is $\frac{9}{13}$ and it passes through the point (-3,1). So, the equation of tangent is

$y-1=\frac{9}{13}(x-(-3))$

$y-1=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{27}{13}$

Add 1 on both sides.

$y=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{27}{13}+1$

$y=\frac{9}{13}(x)+\frac{40}{13}$

Therefore, $m=\frac{9}{13}$ and $b=\frac{40}{13}$ .
