Answer: 20 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a little guess and check, we can figure out that the numbers are 6 apart and the difference between their squares is 204.

20^2 = 400\\14^2=196

20^2-14^2 = 204

A trick to doing this is to start with a number that is easily squared like 10 or 20 and see if the difference between their numbers is larger or smaller and change your numbers based on them.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

14 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em> Let x and y be two numbers where x < y</em></u><em>.</em>

We are given :

y - x = 6

y² - x² = 204

Then

y - x = 6

(y - x)(y + x) = 204

Then

y - x = 6

6 × (y + x) = 204

then

y - x = 6       (Equation 1)

y + x = 34    (Equation 2)

Then

(Equation 1) + (Equation 2) ⇒ 2y = 40 ⇒ y = 20

Now ,we substitute y by 20 in equation 1 :

y - x = 6

⇔ 20 - x = 6

⇔ 20 - 6 = x

⇔ x = 14

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is x - y = 6. Fully reduce your answer. Answer: Submit Answ
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The standard form of an equation is expressed as y = mx+b

m is the slope

Given the equation x - y = 6

Rewrite in standard form;

-y = -x + 6

Multiply through by -1

-(-y) = -(-x) - 6

y = x - 6

Compare with the standard equation

mx = 1x

mx+b

m is the slope
