Mary - M 
<span>Jim - J </span>

<span>Mary's ticket number is one less than Jim's ticket number. </span>
<span>J - 1 = M </span>

<span>The product of their numbers is 812 </span>
<span>M * J = 812 </span>

<span>plus first equation into 2nd </span>
<span>(J - 1) J = 812 </span>
<span>J^2 - J - 812 = 0 </span>
<span>(J - 29) (J + 28) = 0 </span>
<span>J = 29 or -28, 29 cuz you can't have negative for question. </span>
<span>J = 29 </span>

<span>plus 29 in first equation, </span>

<span>29 - 1 = M </span>
<span>28 = M </span>

<span>Mary's ticket number is 28 and Jim is 29</span>

X+ (x-1)=812
x+x-1=812
2x-1=812
2x-1+1=812+1
2x=813
(2x/2)=(813/2)
x= 406.5

One ticket number has to be 406.5, and the other has to be 405.5

To hang lights up on his house.Garrett place is a 14 foot ladder 4 feet from the base of the house. How high up the house will t
Mariulka [41]

This seems like a right triangle problem.

So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem (a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}) to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.

So, the equation is 4^{2} +x^{2} =14^{2}.

Solve for x:

16+x^{2}= 196

x^{2}= 196-16

x^{2}= 180

x = 6√5 feet


Hope this helps!
