<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.

Hey there.

8/9d = 28; multiply both sides by 9.

8d = 252; divide both sides by 8.

d = 31.5

Christine basked a pie.she ate one sixth of the pie. Her brother ate one third of the pie and gave the leftovers to his friends
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Her brother gave his friends one half the pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole pie is equal to 6/6, because that's equal to one. 1/3 = 1/6. 6/6 - 2/6 = 5/6. 5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6. 3/6 = 1/2.
