The sum of two numbers is -17. Their difference is 41. Find the numbers.

the two numbers are 12 and -29

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

let the sum of the two numbers b

x+y = -17 equation 1

let the difference between the two numbers be

x-y = 41 equation 2

from equation 1

x+y = -17 equation 1

x = -17 - y equation 3

substitute for x in equation 2

x-y = 41 equation 2

-17-y -y = 41

-17 -2y = 41

-2y = 41 + 17

-2y = 58

divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = 58/-2

y = -29

put the value of y = -29 in equation 3

x = -17 - y equation 3

x = -17-(-29)

x =-17 + 29

x = 12

therefore the two numbers are 12 and -29

answer: 88

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
