The sum of two numbers is -17 and their difference is 41 what are the two numbers?

the two numbers are 7 and -27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b

From the question,

a + b = -27eqn 1

a - b = 41eqn 2

Sum the two equations

2a = 14

Divide both sides by 2

a = 14/2; a = 7

Substitute a = 7 into equation 2

a - b = 41

7 - b = 41

Make b the subject of the equation

-b = 41 -7

-b = 34

b = -34

Check:

a + b = -27, slot the values of a and b

7 + (-34) = -27

7- 34 = -27

I hope this is clear, please mark as brainliest answer

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
