The difference of two numbers is 3. Their sum is - 24. Find the numbers.

y = -13.5

x = -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let the two numbers be equal to x and y.

The difference of two numbers is 3 ⇒ x - y = 3

Their sum is - 24 ⇒ x + y = -24

Solve using elimination:

x - y = 3

x + y = -24

Add the two equations:

x + x - y + y = 3 - 24

2x = -21

x = -10.5

Solve for y:

-10.5 - y = 3

- y = 3 + 10.5

y = -13.5

I hope this helps!

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
