What two numbers have a sum of -7 and a difference of 14?

The first number, x, is 3.5. The other number, y, is 10.5.
X+y=-7
X-y=14.
Those are the two equations. If you use the elimination method, and add those two equations together, the resulting equation is 2x=7. That means the first variable is 3.5. So, 3.5-y=-7, so that means y is -10.5. If you plug that in with the other equation then it comes out as true.

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 14 and their difference is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

"2 numbers (x and y)

x+y = 14

and x-y + 10

If you each equation by positive 2, one gets 2x+2y = 28 and 2x-2y = 20

The 'y-terms' cancel out or equal zero when adding, so 4x = 48, divide by 4 on each side and x or the first number equals 12.

Plug 12 back into the equation for 'x' and subtract 12 on both sides so that y=2

The difference of 12-2=10 and the addition of 12 and 2 equals 14"

Nando is on a rehabilitation program following a car accident. For the first month, he needs to exercise at most five hours per

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours per week Nando is brisk walking and y be the number of hours per week Nando is biking at a moderate pace.

For the first month, he needs to exercise at most five hours per week, then

$x+y\le 5$

Brisk walking burns about 350 calories per hour, then it burns 350x calories per x hours.

Biking at a moderate pace burns about 700 calories per hour, then it burns 700y calories per y hours.

Nando must burn at least 2,000 calories per week, so

$350x+700y\ge 2,000$

You get the system of two inequalities:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y\le 5\\ 350x+700y\ge 2,000\end{array}\right.$

The attached graph shows the solution set to this system of inequalities. In this diagram, red region represents the solution set to the first inequality, blue region represents the solution set to the second inequality and their intersection is the solution set to the system of two inequalities.
