Answer:

7 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y = 18

x-y = 4

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

x+y = 18

x-y = 4

----------------

2x +0y = 22

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 22/2

x = 11

Solve for y

x+y = 18

11+y =18

Subtract 11 from each side

11+y-11 =18-11

y = 7

The two numbers are 7 and 11

HELPP!!what is the answer to this picture above^

Answer:

$\fbox{ \fbox { \sf{Distance = \sf{15 \: units}}}}$

${ \fbox { \fbox { \sf{Midpoint = { \sf{ \: (12 \: , \: 10.5)}}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \: \sf { \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}}$

$\star { \sf{Let \: A(6 \:, 6) \: be \: (x1 ,\: y1) \: and \: B(18 ,\: 15) \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}$

$\underline{ \underline{ \tt{Finding \: the \: distance}}}$

$\boxed{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {(18 - 6)}^{2} + {(15 - 6)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {(12)}^{2} + {(9)}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{144 + 81}}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{225} }}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Distance = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} } }}$

$\mapsto{ \boxed{\sf{Distance = 15 \: units}}}$

$\underline{ \underline {\tt{Finding \: the \: Midpoint}}}$

$\boxed{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} \: , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{6 + 18}{2} \: , \: \frac{6 + 15}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \sf{Midpoint = ( \frac{24}{2} \: , \: \frac{21}{2} )}}$

$\mapsto{ \boxed{ \sf{Midpoint = (12 \: , \: 10.5)}}}$

Hope I helped!

0.0176165803 is estimated to what

bezimeni [28]

It most common to round to the hundredths place, this is two spaces after the decimal.

So look two spaces right - 0.17. If the third digit (in this case 6) is higher than 5 you round the number up if its not, keep it the same.

"6" is greater than five, so round it to about (or approximately) 0.18.
