Answer: The two numbers are 151 and 66.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to find the two numbers whose sum is 217 and difference is 85.

Let, 'x' and 'y' represents the two numbers, where x > y.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+y=217~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\x-y=85~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

x+x=217+85\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=302\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{302}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=151,

and from equation (i), we get

y=217-x=217-151=66.

Therefore, x = 151 and y = 66.

Thus, the two numbers are 151 and 66.

Graph y=x+1/x² and y=1/x for positive values of x.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Graphic is showed in the figure below

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the equations given, let's do a table for positive values of x, and, by replacing it in the equation, let's calculate the value of y. Knowing the coordinate points (x,y) we can build the graphic.

<em>x        y= x + 1/x²       y = 1/x</em>

1             2                    1

2          2.25               0.2

3          3.11                 0.33

4          4.06               0.25

When x->0 both equations -> ∞, because lim(1/x) x->0 = ∞

The graphic is showed below. In red there is y = 1 + 1/x² and in blue y = 1/x

Use the subway train schedule below to answer the question.
NISA [10]

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple of 8 minutes and 10 minutes is ...

 LCM(8, 10) = 8·10/GCD(8, 10) = 80/2 = 40

The red and blue trains will arrive together again in 40 minutes

Solve this equation. 5n+7=7(n+1)-2n
9966 [12]
Distribute 7 to both n and 1

7(n + 1) = 7n + 7

5n + 7 = 7n + 7 - 2n

Combine like terms

5n + 7 = 7n - 2n + 7

5n + 7 = 5n + 7

If you want to solve for n, subtract 7 from both sides

5n + 7 (-7) = 5n + 7 (-7)

5n = 5n

then divide 5 from both sides

5n/5 = 5n/5

n = n

Effectively, this equation is <em>unsolvable</em>

hope this helps

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

12 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the top of the desk is a trapezoid.

A = (b1 + b2)h/2

A = (5 ft + 3 ft)(3 ft)/2

A = (8 ft)(3 ft)/2

A = 24 ft^2/2

A = 12 ft^2

Answer: 12 square feet

The variance of a stock's returns can be calculated as the:
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The correct option is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for standard deviation is

\sigma^2=\frac{\sum {(x-\overline{x})^2}}{n}

where, \overline{x} is mean of the data and n is number of observation.

The variance of a stock's returns can be calculated by the above formula.

Variance of stock's returns is the average value of squared deviations from the mean.

Therefore the correct option is b.
