The sum of two numbers is -17 and their difference is 41 what are the two numbers?

Mathematics
1 answer:
liberstina [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: the two numbers are 7 and -27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b

From the question,

a + b = -27.......eqn 1

a - b = 41............eqn 2

Sum the two equations

2a = 14

Divide both sides by 2

a = 14/2; a = 7

Substitute a = 7 into equation 2

a - b = 41

7 - b = 41

Make b the subject of the equation

-b = 41 -7

-b = 34

b = -34

Check:

a + b = -27, slot the values of a and b

7 + (-34) = -27

7- 34 = -27

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer

What is the value of y? Show work
romanna [79]

Answer:

Sum of the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.

According to the above problem,

4y + (y + 11) + 39 = 180 \\ 5y + 50 = 180 \\ 5y = 130 \\ y  = \frac{130}{5}  \\  \boxed{y = 26}✓

<h3><u>y=26</u><u>°</u> is the right answer.</h3>

What is the inequality?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

y < 0.25x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The dotted line indicates that the inequality is either a greater than(>) or less than(<). This is because the answer does include the set of points along the line.

We are looking to find an inequality such that any point below that is considered a solution. Thus, after finding the line's equation in slope-intercept form, we can replace the = with <.

Solving for the line:

Take any 2 points and determine the slope. I used (-8,2) and (0,4). The slope using \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} results in \frac{1}{4} or 0.25. As we can see visually from the graph, the y-intercept is (0,4). Thus, the equation of the line is y = 0.25x + 4.

Now all we do is replace the = with the < and we have our answer:

y < 0.25x + 4
