The sum of two numbers is 72 and their difference is 40. Using elimination method

Mathematics

d1i1m1o1n [39]3 years ago

Answer:

here's what we know:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

We can use the elimination method to solve this problem:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

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

2a = 98

Divide both sides by 2:

a = 49

So we now have:

49 + b = 72

and:

49 - b = 26

Subtract 49 from both sides:

b = 23

and

-b = -23 (multiply both sides by -1) → b = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the interquartile range of this data 0 5 10 15 20​
timama [110]
The interquartile range (IQR) is 15.

To find the IQR, you must:
1) Find the median
2) Split the data set in two at the median.
3) Find the medians from both the groups you made in Step 2
4) Label the smaller one Quartile 1 and the larger one Quartile 3 (Hint: The median is Quartile 2)
5) Subtract: Quartile 3 - Quartile 1

What is the slope of the line?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

-7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be defined as: \frac{rise}{run}, which can be more formally calculated as: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where it's essentially the same thing, except the rise/run is being calculated with two points (which you already need)

So let's just say: (x_1, y_1)=(-5, 5)\text{ and } (x_2, y_2)=(-3, -2)

Plugging the values into the equation we get: \frac{-2-5}{-3-(-5)}\implies\frac{-7}{-3+5}\implies-\frac{7}{2}

You can also just look at the graph and see that from point 1 to point 2, it "rised" -7 units, and "ran" 2 units.

Notice how the "rise" is negative? That just means it went down.

Pls help, i appreciate
OleMash [197]

Answer:

2 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula

A = 1/2 bh where b is the length of the base and h is the height

b = 2 and h =2

A = 1/2 (2) * (2)

A = 1/2*4

A = 2 units^2
