Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 50

x - y = 4

x = y + 4

let's use that as substitute in the first equation

y + 4 + y = 50

2y = 46

y = 46/2 = 23

x = y + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27

the 2 numbers are 23 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and x + 4 as their deference is 4.

their sum = 50

now,

→ x + x + 4 = 50

→ 2x + 4 = 50

→ 2x = 50 - 4 = 46

→ x = 46/2 = 23

therefore two numbers are,

x = 23

x + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27

hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!

The equation of the piecewise function f(x) is below. What is the value of f(3)?

JulijaS [17]

Option B: 5 is the value of f(3)

Explanation:

The equation of the piecewise function is given by

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{aligned}-x^{2}, & x$

We need to find the value of $f(3)$

The value of the function f can be determined when $x=3$ by identifying in which interval does the value of $x=3$ lie in the piecewise function.

Thus, $x=3$ lies in the interval $x\geq 0$ , the function f is given by

$f(x)=x+2$

Substituting $x=3$ in the function $f(x)=x+2$ , we get,

$f(3)=3+2$

$f(3)=5$

Thus, the value of $f(3)$ is 5.

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

Yuri and Nathan both made posters. Yuri made 1,272 copies of his poster. Nathan made 325 copies of his poster. How many more cop

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Yuri made 947 more copies than Nathan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are finding the difference from the amount Yuri and Nathan made, the operation is subtraction. Since Yuri made more copies, his number will go first: 1272-325. Then, we solve by subtracting the two numbers, and you should get 947.

Thus, Yuri made 947 more copies than Nathan.
