<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.

Find the areas of the trapezoids
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

12 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here h = 4 ( perpendicular distance between the bases ) and

b₁ = SR = 2, b₂ = TA = 4 , then

A = \frac{1}{2} × 4 × (2 + 4) = 2 × 6 = 12 units²

notka56 [123]
<span>I will discuss polynomials. A polynomial can be classified according to the number of expressions that it has in a given equation. A monomial has only one expression having a coefficient (number) and a variable (letter). A binomial has two expressions, same as the definition of the monomial. And a trinomial has three expressions, same as the definition of a monomial. We can determine the degree of a polynomial by looking at the exponents of the given polynomial. If an expression has two variables with different exponents, you can add their exponent to determine their degree.

Write the ratio as a percent.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

62%

Step-by-step explanation:

This one's easy to solve as a percentage because the total number was 100 to begin with. Simply divide the number of employed students by the total amount of students, 62/100, which gets 0.62, or 62%.

5. The cost of a notebook increased from $4.30 to $4.58, what is the percent increase?
KonstantinChe [14]
The answer is 6.5
Explanation : 1. Find out the increase number by subtracting 4.58 - 4.30 = 0.28 or 6.51%
2. Divide the increase number 0.28 by 4.30 and multiple by 100 which gives you 6.51162791 .
3. Get rid of all the numbers behind 5 and you can’t round it because 1 is too small. Which then gives you the answer 6.5 :) <3
