The sum of two numbers is 8 and the difference is 2

2

x+x=8-2

2x=4

Divide:

4/2=2

x=2

5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Let the first number be x

And the second be y

x + y= 8

x- y= 2

Add the equations

x + y + x - y = 8 + 2

2x= 10

x=5

Slot the value of x into any of the equations: x +y = 8

5+ y= 8

y= 8 - 5

y = 3

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'

it is contrapositive

i could not see the question too well so check yourself again too . this is because i want you to get it correct.
