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.

Answer:

1 in 3 chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12

This means there are 4 multiples.

4/12 or 4 ÷ 12 = 1/3

So there is a 1 in 3 chance (33.333%) to get a multiple of 3
