A negative minus a negative is always a positive ;)
Answer:
13 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 parts be x and y, then
x + y = 29 → (1) and
x² + y² = 425 → (2)
From (1) → x = 29 - y → (3)
substitute x = 29 - y into (2)
(29 - y)² + y² = 425 ( expand factor )
841 - 58y + y² + y² = 425 ( rearrange into standard form )
2y² - 58y + 416 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form
divide all terms by 2
y² - 29y + 208 = 0
Consider the factors of 208 which sum to - 29
These are - 13 and - 16, hence
(y - 13)(y - 16) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for y
y - 13 = 0 ⇒ y = 13
y - 16 = 0 ⇒ y = 16
substitute these values into (3)
x = 29 - 13 = 16 and x = 29 - 16 = 13
The 2 parts are 13 and 16
Although you didn't provide any answer choices:
A trinomial is an expression with exactly three terms that can't be combined an example would be this
x^2 - 3x + 1
None of those terms can be combined
x^2 + 3 - 4 has three terms but it isn't considered a trinomial because you can simplify it to x^2 - 1 which is known as a binomial because it has 2 terms in it's simplified form.
hope this helps C:
3/5n - 4/5 = 1/5n....multiply everything by 5 to get rid of the fractions
3n - 4 = n
-4 = n - 3n
-4 = -2n
-4/-2 = n
2 = n <==
