Answer: 7 and 8
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the first number, then x + 1 is the other number.
(x)² + (x + 1)² = 113
x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 113 <em>expanded (x + 1)²</em>
2x² + 2x + 1 = 113 <em>added like terms</em>
2x² + 2x - 112 = 0 <em>subtracted 113 from both sides</em>
x² + x - 56 = 0 <em> divided both sides by 2</em>
(x + 8) (x - 7) = 0 <em>factored polynomial</em>
x + 8 = 0 x - 7 = 0 <em>applied zero product property</em>
x = -8 x = 7 <em> solved for x</em>
↓
not valid since the restriction is that x > 0 <em>(a positive number)</em>
So, x = 7 and x + 1 = (7) + 1 = 8
Since Peyton has 2 pizzas and each is cut into 10 equal slices that would mean 2x10 which is 20 and then it says she and her friends eat 14 slices which means take away 14 minus 20 which is 6 so the decimal for only 6 would be 0.6 which is the answer. Hope this helped.
