Let the two numbers be x and y, then

x + y = 62 . . . . . . . (1)
x - y = 18 . . . . . . . .(2)

subtracting (2) from (1), we have:

2y = 44
y = 22

From (2), x + 22 = 62
x = 62 - 22 = 40

therefore, the two numbers are 40 and 22.

1. What is AD/AB in simplest form
Step2247 [10]
This is the concept of algebra: The answers to the questions will be as follows:
1. What is AD/AM in the simplest form:
AD/AB is the ratio of AD to AB. This will calculated as follows:
AD=9 units
AB=3 units
thus:
9/3=3
Hence, we conclude that the answer is D. 3

2] What is slope of BE/ slope of AE in simplest form:
slope=(Δy-axis)/(Δx-axis)
slope of AE
=(5-0)/(4-0)
=5/4
slope BE
slope=(5-0)/(4-3)=5/1=5
therefore the ratio of the two slope will be:
BE/AE
=5/(5/4)
=4
The answer is A.4

3. What is the value of x in the proportion (x-1)/5=(4x+2)/35?
To get the value of x we solve the above proportion:
(x-1)/5=(4x+2)/35
35(x-1)=5(4x+2)
35x-35=20x+10
putting like terms together we get:
35x-20x=10+35
15x=45
dividing both sides by 15
x=45/15
x=3
Hence the answer is B.3

4. What is the value of x in the proportion:
(x+1)/(x+3)=15/21
to get the value of x we solve the above:
first we begin by cross multiplying the proportion, this will give us:
21(x+1)=15(x+3)
21x+21=15x+45
putting like terms together we get:
21x-15x=45-21
6x=24
dividing both sides by 6 we get
x=4
∴ x=4

5. The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in extended ratio 3:10:12. The perimeter is 400 cm. What is the length of the longest side in cm.
solution:
Here we introduce the variable x such that the perimeter is:
3x+10x+12x=400
25x=400
x=400/25
x=16
The longest side will be:
12×16=192 cm

The regression equation for change in temperature, y, to amount of humidity in
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Residual = 11.462

Since the residual is positive, it means it is above the regression line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The residual is simply the difference between the observed y-value which is gotten from the scatter plot and the predicted y-value which is gotten from regression equation line.

The predicted y-value is given as 20.7°

The regression equation for temperature change is given as;

y^ = 9.1 + 0.6h

h is the observed amount of humidity and it's given to be 23 percent or 0.23.

Thus;

y^ = 9.1 + 0.6(0.23)

y^ = 9.238

Thus:

Residual = 20.7 - 9.238

Residual = 11.462

Since the residual is positive, it means it is above the regression line.
