Answer:
Step by step explanation:
Write a system of equation based on the number
For an instance, the two numbers are a and b.
"The sum of two numbers is 59" can be written as follows.
⇒ a + b = 59 <em>(first equation)
</em>"The difference is 15" can be written as follows.
⇒ a - b = 15 <em>(second equation)</em>
Solve the system of equation by elimination/substitution method.
First, eliminate b to find the value of a.
a + b = 59
a - b = 15
--------------- + (add)
2a = 74
a = 74/2
a = 37
Second, substitute 37 as a in one of the equations
a + b = 59
37 + b = 59
b = 59 - 37
b = 22
The numbers are 37 and 22
After you type in your equations and hit graph you notice that, if you are in the standard window, your parabola is cut off so you have to choose your "window" button to change the viewing window to see the whole graph. Then you would use your 2nd button and "trace" and "intersect" to find the points of intersection of the 2 graphs. The first point is at (-.90901, 16.81812) and the second point is at (5.9090909, 3.1818182). Graphing calculators are quite amazing!
8 can go into 12 only once.
Y=-2x-2 is the right answer
