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!

The cross-sectional areas of a triangular prism and a right cylinder are congruent. The triangular prism has a height of 5 units
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the cross sectional areas of a triangular prism and a right cylinder.

Volume of cylinder = cross sectional area * height = 3 * x = 3x

Volume of triangular prism = cross sectional area * height = 5 * x = 5x

The volume of the prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.
