Answer:

the two numbers are 12 and -29

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

let the sum of the two numbers b

x+y = -17 ..................................................... equation 1

let the difference between the two numbers be

x-y = 41 ........................................................................ equation 2

from equation 1

x+y = -17 ..................................................... equation 1

x = -17 - y ............................................................... equation 3

substitute for x in equation 2

x-y = 41 ........................................................................ equation 2

-17-y -y = 41

-17 -2y = 41

-2y = 41 + 17

-2y = 58

divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = 58/-2

y = -29

put the value of y = -29 in equation 3

x = -17 - y ............................................................... equation 3

x = -17-(-29)

x =-17 + 29

x = 12

therefore the two numbers are 12 and -29

A wildlife service wanted to estimate the number of alligators in a river so they tagged 90 alligators and released them back in
lilavasa [31]
You can solve this with a proportion. If you know that 23 tagged alligators were in a 200 alligator sample, there are 90 tagged alligators in the entire river. Written otherwise:

23/200 = 90/x    

and solve for x:

x = 782.608...

So the "best estimate" would be around 783 alligators. Hope that helps! If you liked this answer please rate it as brainliest!! thank you!!!

The following graph represents a retirement savings account after the owner of the account begins withdrawing 5% each year.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Options 2 and 5 are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The graph represents the amount in the savings account after the owner withdraws the money each year.

According to the options, we have,

1. As time increases, the amount of money in the savings account is decreasing. So, the function is an example of exponential decay.

2. Also, the initial amount of money in the account is 500,000 dollars.

3. After 10 years, the amount in the account is less than 300,000 dollars.

4. Now, the amount withdrawn by the owner is decreasing exponentially and so cannot be same each year.

5. Further, the y-intercept is the point when y= 500,000 dollars, which is the amount of money in the account when the owner started withdrawing.

Hence, we get that,

Options 2 and 5 are true.
