Let's set these two numbers as 'a' and 'b'

Now, let's set up equations based on the information known:

  • the sum of the two numbers is 52 --> a + b = 52
  • the difference is 28 --> a - b =28

Equations

  • a + b = 52 -- equation 1
  • a - b = 28 -- equation 2

Solve:

  (Equation 1) + (Equation 2)

  2a = 80

     a = 40 -- equation 3

  (Equation 3)

     40 + b = 52

       b = 12

So a  = 40 and b = 12

Hope that helps!

Suppose a cylinder has a diameter of 18 feet and a height of h feet. Which equation can be used to find V, the volume of the cyl
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder can be calculated with the formula:

V=\pi r^2h

Where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

The radius is diameter divided by 2, then:

r=\frac{18ft}{2}\\\\r=9ft

Substitute the radius into the formula. Then you get the following equation that can be used to find V, the volume of the cylinder:

V=\pi (9)^2h
