Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

So their sum is x + y =9 (EQ. 1)

Their difference is x - y = -3 (EQ. 2)

Solve simultaneously using subtract method.

x-x=0, x is eliminated. y- -y = +2y since -x- is +.

so it is now 2y = 9- - 3:. 2y= 12; dividing both sides by 2. Y=6.

Substitute Y=6 in EQ 1 to find x.

So x + 6=9;. x=9-6 is achieved by collecting like terms. so x=3.

:. Y=6 and x=3. The numbers are 6 and 3

I think I was able to expantiate it well.

See the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

tan 29°=AC/CB--------> CB=AC/tan 29°
AC=110 ft 
CB--------> <span>how far the man is from the helicopter landing pad
</span>so
CB=AC/tan 29°----------> CB=110/ tan 29°----------> CB=198.45 ft

the answer is
the man is  198.45 ft  from the helicopter landing pad
