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

Alchen [17]
In Y=-3x+5 the slope is: -3 and the Y intercept is 5.

Explanation:
The equation without any actual inputs is: Y=mX+B. m refers to the slope. B is the Y intercept. So when looking at the equation with information inputted. You would follow the same structure. Slope will be with the X and Y intercept will be added after.
