To my knowledge (im not the smartest person lol) I would say no he cannot
You know that 7*7 is 49, and 6*6 is 36. Now you know it will be 6._. 6*7 is 42, so think of that as 6.5^2. You know that it will most likely be less than 6.8 since it is so close to being 7*7, which is 4 above your desired number. This leaves 6.6 to 6.8 as your estimate. Personally, I would go straight in the middle and choose 6.7.
I hope this helps!
Y = 3x - 1 ---- (1)
x - y = -9 ---- (2)
From Equation 2:
x - y = - 9
x + 9 = y
y = x + 9 --- (2a)
(1) - (2a):
0 = 3x - x - 1 - 9
0 = 2x - 10
2x - 10 = 0
2x = 10
x = 5 ---- sub into (1)
y = 3(5) - 1
y = 15 - 1
y = 14
