The sum of two numbers is 62, and their difference is 12. What are the numbers?

X + y = 62 

x - y = 12

Move x over so y is alone in one of the above equations,

y = 62-x

Now substitte in y

x-(62-x) = 12

x - 62 + x = 12

2x = 12 + 62

2x/2 = 74/2

x = 37

Now for y sub in the x!

x + y = 62

(37) + y = 62

y = 62 - 37

y = 25.

So 25 + 37 =62

and 37 - 25 = 12


Method 2 :
Start by stacking the 2 original equations from above,

x+y=62
x-y=12
You want to "cancel" out one of the variable so,

x+y=62
+  +  =  +
x - y =12

So then you add,

2x = 74

2x / 2 = 74 / 2

x = 37.

Now you can once again sub it back into the original equation to solve for y,

x+y=62
(37)+y=62
y=62-37
y=25

Hope this helps!

Given two central angles in any two circles, the ratio of the arc length to the radius of each corresponding circle is equal if
krok68 [10]
First, we have
s1/r1 = s2/r2

The question also states the fact that
s/2πr = θ/360°

Rearranging the second equation, we have 
s/r = 2πθ/360°

Then we substitute it to the first equation
s1/r1 = 2πθ1/360°
s2/r2 = 2πθ2/360°

which is now 
2πθ1/360° = 2πθ2/360°

By equating both sides, 2π and 360° will be cancelled, therefore leaving 
θ1 = θ2

What is m pqr? <br> Please helps
LiRa [457]

Answer:

134 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Line PQS is 180 degrees. That being said, the addition of <PQR and <SQR equal 180 degrees.

Now you need to set up an equation to find out what angle PQR is. Since there is an X, you need to solve for X. The equation looks like this:

(3x+5) + (x+3) = 180

<u>Solve for x</u>

(3x+5) + (x+3) = 180\\4x+8=180\\4x=172\\x=43

Now plug in 43 where you see x. For this question, you only need to focus on (3x+5)

3(43) + 5 = 134

m<PQR = 134°

Do this every, single, time when you see these questions. Remember that line PQS is 180 degrees, and both of those angles are equal to 180 degrees.

If you want to check if this is true, plug in 43 into our equation we made to see if it equals 180 degrees. <em>If it doesn't equal 180, your equation is incorrect.</em>

<em />

3(43)+5+43+3 = 180

134 + 46 = 180

180 = 180 ✅
