We need a system of equations to solve this.  "Difference" is to subtract, and we are taking this difference of the 2 squared unknowns to be 20.  That equation is x^{2} -y^2=20.  Our "first number is x^2, so 3 times that is 3x^2.  "Increased by" is adding to that first number.  What we are adding is the second number.  The second equation is 3x^2+y^2=124.  Let's solve the first equation for x^2: x^2=y^2+20 and sub that value for x^2 into the second equation.  3(y^2+20)+y^2=124 and 3y^2+60+y^2=124.  Subtract 60 from both sides and combine the y^2 terms to get 4y^2=64.  Divide both sides by 4 to get y^2 = 16 and y = 4.  Let's go back now and solve for x.  We will use the fact that y^2 = 16 to solve for x^2 and then take the square root of it.  x^2-16=20, x^2 = 4, so x = 2.  Your solutions are x = 2 and y = 4.  There you go!

How would i find h please help!!
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

So the triangle who posses the angle with measurement k=35 is an isosceles.  I know this because there are two congruent legs.  Those 2 congruent legs tell us the angles opposite of them are all congruent.

So we know one equation to solve is:

x+x+35=180 where x is the base angle in the left triangle picture.

Combine like terms:

2x+35=180

Subtract 35 on both sides:

2x=180-35

Simplify:

2x=145

Divide both sides by 2:

x=72.5

So one of the base angles of the left isosceles triangle is vertical with with another angle in the right.  This triangle on the right is also isosceles.

So we know that 72.5+72.5+h=180.

Combine like terms:

145+h=180

Subtract 145 on both sides:

h=180-145

Simplify:

h=35
