<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.

Answer:

The first one is proportional and the second one is not. Because for the first one you can see that if you divide the number of pens by the cost you'll get the same answer for every single one. But for the second one if you divide the number of minutes by words typed you get a different answer for each one. You can also see if it's proportional or not if you draw it on the graph and it's a straight line. If it is the relationship is proportional if it isn't it's not proportional. Hope that makes sense :)

Write and simplify an expression to model the relationship expressed in the situation below.
spayn [35]
V(p) = x-n, where V(p) is the volume after the boxes have been together, x is the volume of the larger box, and n is the volume of the smaller box.
x = 15 cm x 25 cm x 20 cm = 7500 cubic centimeters (cm^3)
n = 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm = 1000 cm^3
V(p) = 7500 - 1000 = 6500 cm^3
So your answer is 6500 cubic centimeters.
