Phantasy [73]2 years ago

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!

If the same BLANK number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, the inequality sign is reversed to make the resulting
Maurinko [17]
Answer: Negative
If the same negative number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, then the inequality sign flips to make the new inequality true as well

Example:
Take 1 < 5 and multiply both sides by -2 and we get -2 > -10. The "less than" sign flips to "greater than" since -2 < -10 is false. The value of -10 is further to the left of -2 so -10 is smaller in value. The negative basically takes the complete opposite which is why the flip must happen.

This sign flip rule does not happen if you multiply both sides by a positive number.
