Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger number.

Let y be the smaller number.

x - y = 5

x^2 - y^2 = 65                   Factor the left.

(x - y)(x + y) = 65               Substitute the first equation into this equation.

5 *(x + y) = 65                   Divide both sides by 5

x + y = 65/5

x + y = 13

Now list the two binomials one after the other.

x + y = 13

x - y =  5                           Add

2x = 18                             Divide by 2

2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9

x + y = 13                          Substitute 9 for x

9 + y = 13                          Subtract 9 from both sides.

y =  13 - 9

y = 4

Answer

  • <em>x = 9</em>
  • <em>y = 4 </em>

The waiting times between a subway departure schedule and the arrival of a passenger are uniformly distributed between 00 and 66
Kobotan [32]

You refer to a rectangular distribution. 

I.e. Area ∝ probability 

so, length x height = area 

=> 6 x height = 1 

so, height = 1/6 

Therefore, greater than 2.25 minutes => 8-2.25 = 5.75 minutes 

=> 5.75 x 1/6 = 0.9583

 

Since this is uniformly distributed, there is no need to find the height or standard deviation.

What two numbers add up to 10 and multiply to 21
WITCHER [35]

Answer:The answer is 3 & 7

Step-by-step explanation:3 x 7 = 21

3 + (7) = 10

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x2 + 10x + 21 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(X + 3 ) (X + 7)

To summarize, since 3 and 7 multiply to 21 and add up 10, you know that the following is true:

x2 + 10x + 21 = (X + 3 ) (X + 7)
