In the sum of two numbers is 20 and their difference is 10 find the numbers​

"The sum of two numbers is 20" can be translated mathematically into the equation:

x + y = 20.

"... and their difference is 10" can be translated mathematically as:

x - y = 10

We can now find the two unknown numbers, x and y, because we now have a system of two equations in two unknowns, x and y. We'll use the Addition-Subtraction Method, also know as the Elimination Method, to solve this system of equations for x and y by first eliminating one of the variables, y, by adding the second equation to the first equation to get a third equation in just one unknown, x, as follows:

Adding the two equations will eliminate the variable y:

x + y = 20

x - y = 10

-----------

2x + 0 = 30

2x = 30

(2x)/2 = 30/2

(2/2)x = 15

(1)x = 15

x = 15

Now, substitute x = 15 back into one of the two original equations. Let's use the equation showing the sum of x and y as follows (Note: We could have used the other equation instead):

x + y = 20

15 + y = 20

15 - 15 + y = 20 - 15

0 + y = 5

y = 5

CHECK:

In order for x = 15 and y = 5 to be the solution to our original system of two linear equations in two unknowns, x and y, this pair of numbers must satisfy BOTH equations as follows:

x + y = 20 x - y = 10

15 + 5 = 20 15 - 5 = 10

20 = 20 10 = 10

Therefore, x = 15 and y = 5 is indeed the solution to our original system of two linear equations in two unknowns, x and y, and the product of the two numbers x = 15 and y = 5 is:

xy = 15(5)

xy = 75

A large pizza has a diameter of 14 inches. A medium pizza has a diameter of 10 inches. How much larger is the area of the large
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The bigger pizza has a diameter of 14 inches, or a radius of 14 / 2 = 7 inches.

The smaller pizza has a diameter of 12 inches, or a radius of 12 / 2 = 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is πR2 where R is the radius.

The difference in the size of the pizzas is  

Area of bigger pizza - Area of smaller pizza

= π(7 inches)2 - π(6 inches)2 = = 49π inches2 - 36π inches2 = 13π inches2

Helppppp pleaseeeeeeewwwwwwwww
klemol [59]

Answer:

It should be 1,628 m^{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see two shapes in the figure and those shapes are a rectangle and a circle. Let's find the area of the circle first. 25m won't help us find the area of the circle so let's pretend that 25m isn't there for now. 40m seems to be the diameter of the circle and to find the area of the circle we need to multiply the radius squared by Pi or 3.14. Half of 40 is 20 so we can multiply 20 squared by Pi to give us 1,256.63706. Do not round this number yet. As you can see this circle isn't a full circle. It's a semicircle. We can divide 1,256.63706 by 2 to find the area of a semicircle. You should get 628.31853 and round that to the nearest tenth and we get 628.32. Now let's keep that number in mind and find the area of the rectangle. Using a calculator we can easily multiply 40 and 25 to find the area of the rectangle, which is 1,000. Add 1,000 and 628.32 and our final results should be 1,628.32. I don't see this number in your options but option B is closely related to this answer. I hope this helps and if this answer is wrong then please give me some feedback on what I did wrong! Thank you!
