Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hello : here is an solution
(8)(-4.5) is not equivalent because 8 times -4.5 results in negative value
Let the two numbers be represented by x and y. The problem statement gives rise to two sets of equations.
x - y = 0.6
y/x = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming x is the larger of the two numbers
or
x/y = 0.6 . . . . . . . assuming y has the larger magnitude
The solution of the first pair of equations is
(x, y) = (1.5, 0.9)
The solution of the first and last equations is
(x, y) = (-0.9, -1.5)
The pairs of numbers could be {0.9, 1.5} or {-1.5, -0.9}.
If submarine is at the surface (the initial position) and then dives 375 ft, the coordinate of submarine becomes -375 ft <span>relatively to the initial position. When the submarine dives another 175 ft down, the coordinate of submarine becomes -375-175=-550 ft relatively to the initial position.
