The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39      ⇒x=39/2=19.5

  x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
   2y=9    ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

Two college roommates have each committed to donating to charity each week for the next year. The roommates’ weekly incomes are
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

C. 5 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have a random variable that is equal to the sum of two normal-distributed random variables.

If we have two random variables X and Y, both normally distributed, the sum will have this properties:

S=X+Y\\\\\ \mu_S=\mu_X+\mu_Y=30+60=90\\\\\sigma_S=\sqrt{\sigma_X^2+\sigma_Y^2}=\sqrt{10^2+20^2}=\sqrt{100+400}=\sqrt{500}=22.36

To calculate the expected weeks that the donation exceeds $120, first we can calculate the probability of S>120:

z=\frac{S-\mu_S}{\sigma_S} =\frac{120-90}{22.36}=\frac{30}{22.36}=1.34\\\\P(S>120)=P(z>1.34)=0.09012

The expected weeks can be calculated as the product of the number of weeks in the year (52) and this probability:

E=\#weeks*P(S>120)=52*0.09012=4.68

The nearest answer is C. 5 weeks.

What times what equals 21 but adds up to -22
attashe74 [19]
Let "what" and "what" be A and B

Put this in an algebraic equation
A * B = 21
A + B = -22

A must = -21 and B must = -1   , this is because two negatives multiply to make a positive

A + B = -22    ,  -21 +-1 = -22
