A) I would make the positive integer x and then form an equation.
x + 30 = x^2 - 12
x + 42 = x^2
0 = x^2 - x - 42 this can be factorised
(x - 7) ( x + 6) Therefore x = 7 or x = -6
Since the question asks for a positive integer the answer is 7.
B) two positive numbers x and y.
X - y = 3
x^2 + y^2 = 117
Use these simultaneous equations to figure out each number.
Rearrange the first equation
x = y + 3
Then substitute it into the second equation.
(y+3)^2 + y^2 = 117
y^2 + 6y + 9 + y^2 = 117
2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
then factorise this.
(2y - 12) (y + 9)
This means that y = 6 or y = -9 but it’s 6 because that’s the only positive number.
Use y to find x
x = y + 3
x = 6 + 3
x = 9
So the answers are x = 9 and y = 6.
Width: x
Length: 3x
Perimeter=x+x+3x+3x=8x
8x=400
x=50
Dimension is 150×50 feet (length × width)
Answer:
(-5/2, 3/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
[(-5.5+.5)/2, (9.1-6.1)/2)} = (-5/2, 3/2)
Answer:
1,650 candies
Step-by-step explanation:
rate: 110 candles per minute
time: 15 minutes
rate x time = work
110 x 15 = 1650
X = -2 and -5
You can set both equal to 0 to find the answers.
