Answer:

3 AND 5

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE TWO NUMBERS BE X AND Y

THEN

X + Y = 8 …….1

X – Y = 2 …… 2

WE SOLVE SIMULTANOUSLY  

SUBTRACTNG EQATION 2 FROM 1

X – X  + Y – (-Y) = 8 – 2

Y + Y = 6

2Y = 6

DIVIDING EACH TERM BY 2

2Y/2 = 6/2

Y = 3

THEN PUTTING Y = 3 IN EQUATION 1

X + 3 = 8

X = 8 – 3

X = 5

lisov135 [29]

Answer: 4 years


Step-by-step explanation:

A(0) has to be amount at start. Assume that's 5mg

Then A(t) = 5×(0.5)^(0.25t) = 5×2^(-t/4),

(also known as 5 exp(-λ t) with λ = ln(2)/4, incidentally).


We need to such that A(t) = 2.5mg, or 2^(-t/4) is 1/2, which happens when -t/4 is -1, or t is 4.

If a skateboard is 2 1/2 feet long, what is the length of 4 skateboards in yards?
Rudik [331]
First, we need to find the length of the skateboard in feet. 

Since each skateboard is 2 1/2 feet long, we can multiply that by 4 to get 10. 

2 1/2 * 4 = 10

We then convert this into yards. 
One yard is equal to 3 feet, so we should divide 10 by 3 to get our answer. 

10/3=3 1/10

Our final answer is 3 1/10 yards.
