Answer:

y = -13.5

x = -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let the two numbers be equal to <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>.

The difference of two numbers is 3 ⇒ x - y = 3

Their sum is - 24 ⇒ x + y = -24

Solve using elimination:

x - y = 3

x + y = -24

Add the two equations:

x + x - y + y = 3 - 24

2x = -21

x = -10.5

Solve for y:

-10.5 - y = 3

- y = 3 + 10.5

y = -13.5

I hope this helps!

EFGH is a parallelogram. Find the measure of FG and EG <br>​
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

FG = 44

EG = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

For FG:

1) 5z - 16 = 3z + 8

2) 5z = 3z + 24

3) 2z = 24

4) z = 12

5) 3(12) + 8 = 44

For EG:

1) 2w + 22 = 4w + 4

2) 2w = 4w - 18

3) -2w = -18

4) w = 9

5) 4(9) + 4 + 2w + 22 = 80
