If a + b = 5 and a - b = 9, what is a^2+b^2?

=53

Step-by-step explanation:

a=5-b     &.    a=9+b

combine

5-b=9+b

-4=2b

b= -2

thus, a=7

(-2)^2 + (7)^2

4+49

=53

fahrenheit

step-by-step explanation:

fahrenheit is more precise than celsius. the ambient temperature on most of the inhabited world ranges from -20 degrees fahrenheit to 110 degrees fahrenheit—a 130-degree range. on the celsius scale, that range is from -28.8 degrees to 43.3 degrees—a 72.1-degree range. this means that you can get a more exact measurement of the air temperature using fahrenheit because it uses almost twice the scale.
