Mathematics

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

First statement is correct. If Sasha reads her novel for 94 minutes, she meets the minimum reading requirement without reading any of the autobiography.

Given,

The rate of reading of a novel by Sasha = 0.8 pages per minute

The rate of reading of autobiography by Sasha = 0.5 pages per minute

The reading requirement of Sasha's English class = atleast 75 pages per week

The given equation: 0.8n + 0.5a ≥ 75

n is the number of minutes she reads the novel

a is the number of minutes she reads the autobiography

Now, let's check the statements:

Statement 1: If Sasha reads her novel for 94 minutes, she meets the minimum reading requirement without reading any of the autobiography.

That is,

0.8 × 94 + 0.5 × 0 ≥ 75

75.2 ≥ 75

This statement satisfies the equation.

Other 4 statement didn't satisfy the equation.

So, first statement is correct.
