Answer:

x = 181 and y = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

let called the first number is x

the second number would be called y

We are given that:

x + y = 278 (1)

x = y + 84 (2)

Let change x in (2) into (1):

y + 84 + y = 278

2y + 84 = 278

Subtract 84 from both side, we got:

2y + 84 - 84 = 278 - 84

2y + 0 = 194

Divide both side by 2, we got:

2y / 2 = 194 / 2

y = 97

Because y = 97 and x + y = 278 so x would equal:

x + 97 = 278

Subtract 97 from both side, we got:

x + 97 - 97 = 278 - 97

x + 0 = 181

x = 181 and y = 97

Hope this helped :3

A car traveling east at 40.0 m/s passes a trooper hiding at the roadside. The driver uniformly reduces his speed to 25.0 m/s in
Anni [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 40 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 25 m/s

Time taken, t = 3.5 s

(a) We need to find the magnitude and direction of the car’s acceleration as it slows down. It can be calculated using formula as :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{25-40}{3.5}

a=-4.28\ m/s^2

The acceleration is in the opposite direction of motion i.e. west.

(b) Let s is the distance the car travel in the 3.5-s time period. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{25^2-40^2}{2\times (-4.28)}

s = 113.9 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
