Answer:

the two numbers are 16 and -25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y=-9

x-y=-41

By substitution

y=-9-x

x-(-9-x)=-41

x+9+x=-41

2x=-41-9

2x=-50

x=-25

y=-9-(-25)

y=16

Solve (x + 4)2 – 3(x + 4) – 3 = 0 using substitution. u = Select the solution(s) of the original equation.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

$\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{21}}{2},\ \dfrac{-5+\sqrt{21}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For the equation $(x+4)^2-3(x+4)-3=0$ use the substitution $u=x+4.$ Then the equation will take look

$u^2-3u-3=0.$

Solve this quadratic equation:

$D=(-3)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot (-3)=9+12=21,\\ \\u_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm \sqrt{21}}{2}=\dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{21}}{2}.$

Thus,

$x+4=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{21}}{2}\text{ or }x+4=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{21}}{2},\\ \\x_1=\dfrac{3-\sqrt{21}}{2}-4=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{21}}{2}\text{ or }x_2=\dfrac{3+\sqrt{21}}{2}-4=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{21}}{2}.$

Jimmy’s new cell phone cost him $49.99 when he signed a 2 year plan, which was 75% off the original place. What was the original

Sati [7]

If Jimmy's new cell cost him $49.99 with a 75% discount, then $49.99 is 100%−75%=25% of the original price.

The original price of the cell phone was $199.96.
