Let's call the two numbers x and y.

We know that x+y = 842 and that x-y = 314

Now that we have two equations, we can solve using substitution by solving for one variable in one of the equations, and plugging that in for the same variable in the other equation.

Lets solve for x in the second equation to get:

x = 314 + y

Now plug in 314+y for x in the first equation:

(314 + y) + y = 842

Combine like terms:

314 + 2y = 842

Now solve for y:

2y = 842-314

2y = 528

y = 264

Finally, plug 264 in for y to solve for x:

x + 264 = 842

x = 842-264

x = 578

The two numbers are 578 and 264.

The equation h(t) = 1.2 + 40t – 5t2 models the height, in meters of a ball t
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the time when the height is 40 meters above the ground, we would substitute 40 for h in the given equation. It becomes

1.2 + 4t0t - 5t² = 40

5t² - 40t + 40 - 1.2 = 0

5t² - 40t + 38.8 = 0

The general formula for solving quadratic equations is expressed as

x = [- b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

From the equation given,

a = 5

b = - 40

c = 38.8

Therefore,

t = [- - 40 ± √(- 40² - 4 × 5 × 38.8)]/2 × 5

t = [40 ± √(1600 - 776)]/10

t = [40 ± √824]/10

t = (40 + 28.71)/10 or x = (40 - 28.71)/10

t = 6.871 seconds or t = 1.129 seconds

(8x-9) + 3x = 90

8x + 3x -9 = 90

11x = 99

x = 99/11 = 9


3x = 3(9) = 27

8x-9 = 90 -27 = 63
