The sum of two numbers is -50. Their difference is - 10. Find the numbers. The smaller number is:
The larger number is:

be careful how you answer this

the larger number (y) = - 20

the smaller number (x) = - 30  

Think money. Which would you rather be: 20 dollars in the hole or 30 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -50

x - y =  -10                             Add

2x = - 60                               Divide both sides by 2    

2x/2 = -60/2                         Do the division

x = - 30

-30 - y = - 10                         Substitute - 30 for x in the second equation

-30+30- y = -10 + 30            Add 30 to both sides

-y = +20                                Divide by -1 on both sides

y = - 20

the size of the resulting matrix is 1-by-3.

step-by-step explanation:

the size of the two matrices given are as follows:

no .of rows of matrix 1 = 1

no .of columns of matrix 1 = 3

no .of rows of matrix 1 = 3

no .of columns of matrix 1 = 3

to find the size of the resulting matrix without actually solving the multiplication of the matrix, this is what you do:

if resulting matrix = matrix 1 * matrix 2

no. of rows of the resulting matrix = number of rows of matrix 1

no. of columns of resulting matrix = number of columns of matrix 2

note: the order of the matrices matter!
