<h3>Given</h3>

Two positive integers x and y

x - y = 4

x² + y = 68

<h3>Find</h3>

x and y

<h3>Solution</h3>

Add the two equations together.

... (x - y) + (x² + y) = (4) + (68)

... x² + x = 72

Rearrange to standard form and factor.

... x² + x - 72 = 0

... (x + 9)(x - 8) = 0

Use the zero product rule to find the solutions. That rule says the product is zero when one or more factors is zero.

... x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = -9

... x - 8 = 0 ⇒ x = 8 . . . . . . the positive solution

Then we can find y from

... 8 - y = 4

... y = 4 . . . . . . . add y-4 to the equation

The two positive integers are 8 and 4.

820 round to the nearest hundred
grandymaker [24]
Hello! Seeings 20 is less than 50, you then need to round down. If its over 50 then you round up! So if you have 14 its rounded to 10. And if you have 16 round it to 20. So 820 is rounded to 800.
