Find the difference vertically( North and South) and the difference horizontally ( East and West)

Then use the Pythagorean Theorem.

600 North - 200 South = 400 m

400 West - 100 East = 300 m

Now using the Pythagorean Theorem;

400^2 + 300^2 = total displacement^2

Total displacement^2 = 160,000 + 90,000

Total displacement^2 = 250,000

Total displacement = √250,000

Total displacement = 500 m

The sum of two numbers is 75. The second number is 3 less than twice the first

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

$\large{\textbf{The two numbers are: 26 and 49}.\\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\large{\textup{assume the two numbers are $x$ and $y$.}}\\\large{\textup{The given sentences are written in mathematical terms as follows:}\\$$ x + y = 75 \hspace{25mm} (1)$$ $$ y = 2x - 3 \hspace{25mm} (2) $$ \\\textup{Substituting $(2)$ in $(1)$,}\\\begin{align*} & \implies x + 2x - 3 = 75 \\& \implies 3x = 78 \\& \implies x = 26\end{align*}\textup{Substituting $x$ in $(1), \hspace{5mm} y = 49$} }$

If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.
