Answer: x = 23 and y = 13

Explanation:

let x and y be the two number.

Where:

(x + y)/2 = 18 => x + y = 18 x 2 = 36

and:

x - y = 10

Thus we get:

x + y = 36 (1)
x - y = 10 (2)

Add (1) and (2):
x + y + x - y = 36 + 10
2x = 46
x = 23

If x = 23

then x - y = 10
23 - y = 10
-y = -13
y = 13

A boat starts from a port and moves 12 miles north and then moves 5 miles east. what is the present distance of the boat from th
disa [49]
If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.

Solution:

h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13

The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.

Maryland had $(62xsquared + x - 4) on mondays she spent $(11x squared - 33) on a pair of gloves how much money did she have left
Anton [14]

Answer:

$( 51x^2 + x + 29).

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount she had left = original amount - amount spent on the gloves

=  62x^2 + x - 4 - (11x^2 - 33)   (note we place the amount spent on gloves in parentheses because we have to subtract the whole amount)

Now we distribute the negative over the parentheses:

= 62x^2 + x - 4 - 11x^2 + 33     ( note - 33 becomes -33*-1 = +33)

Now simplifying like terms:

= 51x^2 + x + 29  (answer).
