The sum of two numbers is -17. Their difference is 41. Find the numbers

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 12

y = -29

Step-by-step explanation:

Our given equations: x + y = -17 and x - y = 41

Solve for x and substitute.

x = -17 - y

(-17 - y) - y = 41

-17 - 2y = 41

2y = -58

y = -29

Solve for x using y

x + (-29) = -17

x = 12

I need help with these 2 <br> i need to get a answer and i have to explain pls help! :(
OLga [1]

Answer:

12. C. 40 more students chose baseball than basketball

20. 500 total flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

12. To find the number of students that chose baseball, we multiply 25% by 800 students surveyed. First we have to convert 25% to a decimal = 0.25

800 x 0.25 = 200 students chose baseball.

Then, for basketball, 20% of students chose that, so 20% = 0.20

800 x 0.2 = 160 students chose basketball

200-160 = 40 more students chose baseball than basketball

----------------------------

20. I don't know what your "magic sentence" looks like. You can set this up as a ratio, where x is the total number of flowers, and the 56% is a fraction of 56/100

280/x = 56/100

then cross multiply

28,000 = 56x

divide by 56

x = 500

Check the math: 500 x 0.56 = 280

If you want to tell me what your teacher's "magic sentence" looks like in the comments, I can try to fill it in with/for you.

The length of a rectangle is 19 feet longer than the width. If the perimeter is 46 feet, write an equation for this scenario
user100 [1]

Answer: The equation shall be

8 = 4W

Step-by-step explanation: The perimeter has been given as 46 feet, whereas the length and the width are not yet given. But the clue we have states that “the length is 19 feet longer than the width,” which means, if the width is W then the length shall be 19 plus W. We can express the dimensions as;

Length = 19 + W

Width = W

We can now express the perimeter as follows;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

46 = 2(19 + W + W)

46 = 2(19 + 2W)

46 = 38 + 4W

Subtract 38 from both sides of the equation

8 = 4W

If f(x)=-7x-3 and g(x)=√x-16 what is (f °g)(-2)
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The notation (f °g)(-2) means f(g(-2)). You will substitute -2 into g(x) then substitute the value or equation that results into f(x).

g(-2) = √x - 16 = √-2 - 16

This is not possible because the value of -2 cannot be found in a square root. Square roots do not compute real roots for negative numbers.
