Answer:

-5 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers (let's just say number a and number b) is 12.

a + b = 12

The difference between the same two numbers (still a and b) is 22.

b - a = 22

(Move variable a to the right side to get the following.)

b = 22 + a

(This way, we can substitute b = 22 + a into the first equation, a + b = 12, and solve.)

a + (22 + a) = 12

a + a + 22 = 12

2a = -10

a = -5

a + b = 12

-5 + b = 12

b = 17

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through point P(-4,11) and is parallel to a=[-3,8]. Then write parametric equati
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8), x = -4 - 3\cdot t and y = 11 + 8\cdot t

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector equation of the line is:

\vec l = \vec P + t \cdot \vec A

\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8)

The parametric equations of the line are:

x = -4 - 3\cdot t and y = 11 + 8\cdot t
