Answer:
2500
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first square number be 
then the next square number is 
.
The difference between these two consecutive numbers is 99.
This implies that:
We expand to get:
Simplify:
Divide both sides by 2
Therefore the value of the larger perfect number is
.
The trick to solving this problem is to know and remember that the sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Thus, (6x+1) + (5x-17) + (9x-24) = 180.
20x = -40, so x = -2 (answer)
"Will is twice as old as Jill."
Jill's age . . . . . J
Will's age . . . . 2J .
"Three years ago . . .
Jill's age then . . . . . J - 3
Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3
". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."
J - 3 = (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by 5 : 5J - 15 = 2 (2J - 3)
Divide
each side by 2 : 2.5 J - 7.5 = 2J - 3
Subtract 2J
from each side: 0.5 J - 7.5 = -3
Add 7.5
to each side: 0.5 J = 4.5
Multiply
each side by 2 : J = 9
Jill is 9 y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.
Honestly photo math works for everything
