Larger is x
the other is called y
sum of squares is 394
x^2+y^2=394
one is 2 less that other
x>y so
y+2=x
subsitute y+2 for x

(y+2)^2+y^2=394
expand
y^2+4y+4+y^2=394
add like terms
2y^2+4y+4=394
divideboth sides by 2
y^2+2y+2=197
subtract 197 from both sides
y^2+2y-195=0
factor
(y+15)(y-13)=0
set each to zero
y+15=0
y=-15
impossible since it is stated that they are positive so get rid of this solution
y-13=0
y=13

find other
y+2=x
13+2=x
15=x


numbers are 13 and 15

Moises ate 10% of the candies in the bag. If Moises ate 16 candies, how many candies were there total in the bag?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of the candies is 16, and to get 100% from 10% is to multiply by 10.

So 10% *10 = 100%, then by association if 16 = 10%, then 16*10 will be the total 100%.

(7,-1) and ( 21,-5) what is the slope
mart [117]

Answer:

-2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from (7,-1) to ( 21,-5) we see x (the 'run') increasing by 14 and y (the 'rise') decreasing by 4.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise/run = -4/14, or -2/7.
