I attached a picture, see if you can see what I'm doing. Basically, I start by squaring everything to get rid of the radical, but just remember at the end to always, always check your answers, because squaring your answers could get rid of some negative numbers that could result in imaginary answers. The answer I came up with was a=5,-2
Answer:
a. 1.954
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps you!!

Let x = first number and y = second number.
The first statement is expressed as
x*y = 713
The second statement is expressed as
x = y + 9
To find x, use the second equation in terms of y, that is y = x - 9. Then substituting it to the first equation yields
x*(x - 9) = 713
First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%
