Find two numbers whose sum is 29 and whose difference is 15

1 answer:

4 0

The two numbers are 22 and 7.
22 + 7 = 29
22 - 7 = 15
here is how we can find these numbers;
let a and b are two numbers
a + b = 29
a - b = 15
a = 15 + b
now put this value of a in any of the equation
a + b = 29
15 + b + b = 29
15 + 2b = 29
2b = 29 - 15
2b = 14
b = 7
now put the value of b to find the value of a;
a = 15 + b = 15 + 7 = 22
a = 22

A number decreased by 24 is -1

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The word decreased indicates the use of subtraction, so to figure out our answer we do the opposite, -1 + 24 = 23, after that we then subtract, 23 - 24 = -1, there for your answer should be 23 - 24 = -1, or more simply the number that has to be decreased to make the statement true is 23

Sadie simplified the expression √54a^7b^3, where a>=0, as shown: √54a^7b^3= √3^2•6•a^2•a^5•b^2•b=3ab √6a^5b

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

We are to find the error made by Sadie and then find the correct simplification.

The error Sadie made is that she wrote $a^7$ as $a^2 * a^5$ instead of $a^6 * a$ .
