Answer:

The two consecutive positive integers are 4 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be an even integer, then the next even integer is (x+2).


The sum of the squares of these even integers is 52.


We can write the following equation and solve for x.


x^2+(x+2)^2=52.

We expand to get,

x^2+x^2+4x+4=52.

We simplify to get,

2x^2+4x+4-52=0.


This gives us,

2x^2+4x-48=0


We divide through by 2 to get,

x^2+2x-24=0.

This is now a quadratic trinomial

We split the middle term to get,


x^2+6x-4x-24=0.


We factor to obtain,

x(x+6)-4(x+6)=0


\Rightarrow (x+6)(x-4)=0


\Rightarrow (x+6)=0 or (x-4)=0


\Rightarrow x=-6 or x=4


We discard x=-6 since it is not a positive integer.

\therefore x=4


Hence the two consecutive positive even integers are,

4

and

4+2=6

Answer:

4 and 6


Step-by-step explanation:

one number = x

other number = x + 2


x² + (x + 2)² = 52

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 52

2x² + 4x - 48 = 0

x² + 2x - 24 = 0

(x - 4)(x + 6) = 0

x = 4 or x = -6


Since x is positive

x = 4

x + 2 = 6

zmey [24]

Answer:

she spent $1782

Step-by-step explanation:

first we have to find out her total money then minus 990

to get that 990 /5 then multipliedby 6 is 1188

1188 over 3 then times by 7 is 2772

2772 is the total amount of money she had. minus what she had left which is 990 she has spent 1782 dollars

Answer:

17. Scale Factor is  3:1

18. Scale Factor is  1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale Factor: In two similar shapes, the ratio of their corresponding sides is called scale factor.

17. Give the scale factor of Figure A to Figure B

Figure A has sides:

Hypotenuse = 15

Perpendicular = 12

Base = 9

Figure B has sides:

Hypotenuse = 5

Perpendicular = 4

Base = 3

So, if we divide all sides of figure A by 3 we get Figure B

So, Figure A : Figure B

3:1

18. Give the scale factor of Figure B to Figure A

Figure B has sides:

Hypotenuse = 5

Perpendicular = 4

Base = 3

Figure A has sides:

Hypotenuse = 15

Perpendicular = 12

Base = 9

If we multiply 3 with the sides of Figure B we can get the sides of Figure A.

So scale factor is 3.

So, Figure B : Figure A

1:3
