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:
(-2, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
consider the following equations: -x-y=1 y=x+3
For the lines to intersect, the values must be the same
-x-y=1
x + y = -1
y = -x - 1
Equating the y values
-x - 1 = x+ 3
-x-x = 3 + 1
-2x = 4
x = 4/-2
x = -2
Substitute x = -2 into y = x+3
y = -2 + 3
y = 1
Hence the required coordinate is (-2, 1)

Answer:
$2838.14
Step-by-step explanation:
Fill in the values and do the arithmetic.
A = 2000e^(0.07·5)
A = 2000e^0.35 ≈ 2838.14
The value of the investment in 5 years will be $2838.14.
