Answer:

The first number is 20, the second one is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y

Since it says "9 is the difference between two numbers", the first equation will be x-y=9

It also says that "their sum is 31". That means the second equation will be x+y=31

here are the two equations:

x-y=9

x+y=31

You can solve this any way you like, but I'll show elimination

add the two equations

x-y=9

x+y=31

2x=40

divide by 2

x=20

Substitute 20 as x in one of the equations

20+y=31

subtract 20 from both sides

y=11

That means the two numbers are 20 and 11

Hope this helps!

Find the slope of the line that passes through (-2,-3) and (1,1).
Serga [27]
Slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-2,-3)...x1 = -2 and y1 = -3
(1,1)...x2 = 1 and y2 = 1
time to sub and solve
slope = (1 - (-2) / (1 - (-3) = (1 + 2) / (1 + 3) = 3/4 <==

How many triangles and quadrilaterals altogether can be formed using the vertices of a 7-sided regular polygon?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:  The correct option is

(E) 70.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the number of  triangles and quadrilaterals altogether that can be formed using the vertices of a 7-sided regular polygon.

To form a triangle, we need any 3 vertices of the 7-sided regular polygon. So, the number of triangles that can be formed is

n_t=^7C_3=\dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{3\times2\times1\times4!}=35.

Also, to form a quadrilateral, we need any 4 vertices of the 7-sided regular polygon. So, the number of quadrilateral that can be formed is

n_q=^7C_4=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!\times3\times2\times1}=35.

Therefore, the total number of triangles and quadrilaterals is

n=n_t+n_q=35+35=70.

Thus, option (E) is CORRECT.
