Q1Figure it Out (Section 2.1 - Sums and Differences)

Let us try to find a few more pairs of numbers from their sums and differences:

(a)
Sum = 27, Difference = 9
(b)
Sum = 4, Difference = 12
(c)
Sum = 0, Difference = 10
(d)
Sum = 0, Difference = -10
(e) Sum = -7, Difference = -1
(f) Sum = -7, Difference = -13

Solution

To Find: Pairs of numbers given their sum and difference.
Let: The two numbers be xx and yy.
Formulas: Given the sum (SS) and difference (DD): x+y=Sx + y = S x−y=Dx - y = D Adding the two equations gives 2x=S+D2x = S + D, so x=S+D2x = \frac{S+D}{2}. Subtracting the second equation from the first gives 2y=S−D2y = S - D, so y=S−D2y = \frac{S-D}{2}.
Solutions:
(a) Sum = 27, Difference = 9 x=27+92=362=18x = \frac{27 + 9}{2} = \frac{36}{2} = 18 y=27−92=182=9y = \frac{27 - 9}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = 9 Final Answer: The numbers are 18 and 9.
(b) Sum = 4, Difference = 12 x=4+122=162=8x = \frac{4 + 12}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8 y=4−122=−82=−4y = \frac{4 - 12}{2} = \frac{-8}{2} = -4 Final Answer: The numbers are 8 and -4.
(c) Sum = 0, Difference = 10 x=0+102=102=5x = \frac{0 + 10}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 y=0−102=−102=−5y = \frac{0 - 10}{2} = \frac{-10}{2} = -5 Final Answer: The numbers are 5 and -5.
(d) Sum = 0, Difference = -10 x=0+(−10)2=−102=−5x = \frac{0 + (-10)}{2} = \frac{-10}{2} = -5 y=0−(−10)2=102=5y = \frac{0 - (-10)}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 Final Answer: The numbers are -5 and 5.
(e) Sum = -7, Difference = -1 x=−7+(−1)2=−82=−4x = \frac{-7 + (-1)}{2} = \frac{-8}{2} = -4 y=−7−(−1)2=−62=−3y = \frac{-7 - (-1)}{2} = \frac{-6}{2} = -3 Final Answer: The numbers are -4 and -3.
(f) Sum = -7, Difference = -13 x=−7+(−13)2=−202=−10x = \frac{-7 + (-13)}{2} = \frac{-20}{2} = -10 y=−7−(−13)2=62=3y = \frac{-7 - (-13)}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 Final Answer: The numbers are -10 and 3.
