The sum of the two numbers is equal to 70.

  • Let the first number be x.
  • Let the second number be y.

In this exercise, you're required to find two numbers by translating the word problem into an algebraic expression and then solving for the unknown variables (x and y).

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

Two numbers differ by 8:

x-y=8    ....equation 1.

The product of the two numbers is 713:

xy=713    ....equation 2.

To calculate the sum of the two numbers:

First of all, we would solve for each of the unknown variables (x and y).

From eqn. 1, we have:

x=8+y   ....equation 3.

Substituting eqn. 3 into eqn. 2, we have:

y(y+8)=713\\\\y^2+8y=713\\\\y^2+8y-713=0

Solving the quadratic equation by factorization, we have:

y^2-31y +23y-713=0\\\\y(y-31)+23(y-31)=0\\\\(y+23)(y-31)=0

y = -23 or 31.

For the value of x, when y = 31:

x=8+31

x = 39

Now, we can calculate the sum of the two numbers:

x+y=39+31=70

There are 12 of the zodiac. how many people are needed to guarantee that at least six of these people have the same sign? your a
ElenaW [278]

Answer:es, the answer is 61. This is related to a mathematical principle called the Pigeonhole Principle, which states that if you are trying to sort  n+1  objects into k sets (where nk=r;n,k,r∈Z+), at least one set must contain at least r+1 objects. (This can be proven by proof by contradiction, but is pretty standard and so generally can just be used as justification of an answer by itself.)

For your problem, you have 12 signs of the zodiac - these are your 12 sets (so k=12). You are looking to find how many it takes before a set contains 6 objects (so r+1=6 and thus r=5). Therefore, n+1=r×k+1=12×5+1=61.
