Let the two numbers be x and y.
x + y = 86
+
x - y = 12
_________
2x + 0 = 98
__________
2x = 98
x = 98/2
x = 49
From x + y = 86
49 + y = 86
y = 86 - 49
y = 37
The numbers are 49 and 37.
All of the answer choices that you are given are incorrect. I have calculated it in all different ways and get the same thing and it is none of those. The correct answer would be -75 though.
D) 12 would NOT be a possible length for the third side because the sum of the 2 shorter legs should be greater than the longest leg.
Answer:
36/40, 47/101, 192
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)The numerator (top number of the fraction) is adding up by odd numbers in order.
From 1/40 to 4/40 you add 3, from 4/40 to 9/40 you add 5, from 9/40 to 16/40 you add 7, and from 16/40 to 25/40 you add 9.
The next number to add would logically be 11. So from 25/40 you would go to 36/40.
36/40 is your next fraction.
(b)
3+4=7,4+7=11,7+11=18,11+18=29,18+29=47
(c) 1*2=2,2*2=4,2*4=8,4*8=32,8*32=256,32*256=8,192
