Find two numbers, if

Their sum is − 1/3 and their difference is 18

The two numbers are: -9.17 and 8.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers represent 'x' and 'y'

Their sum is − 1/3 ==>          x + y = -1/3  .................(eqn 1)

Their difference is 18 ==>    x − y = 18  ....................(eqn 2)

from equation 2,

x = 18 + y

therefore, substitute for 'x' in (eqn 1) to get y

(18+y) + y = -1/3

18 + 2y = -1/3

2y = -1/3 − 18

2y = -

2y = - 55/3

y = (-55/3) / 2

y = -55/3 x 1/2

y = -55/6 = -9.17

Substitute for 'y' in either equation

picking (eqn 2)

x − (-9.17) = 18

x + 9.17 = 18

x = 18 − 9.17

x = 8.83

hey there!

12 is twice as much as 6 because 6 goes into 12 2 times.

since the rabbit is twice as tall, we should multiply the weight of the first rabbit, 0.25, by 2.

0.25 x 2 = 0.5

therefore, the 12 inch chocolate rabbit weighs 0.5 lb, or half a pound.

hope this !
