They give us 2 pieces to the puzzle.  Both are positive numbers...x and y.
1.) 1 number is 1 less than twice another number. (x = 2y -1)...and
2.) the sum of their squares is 106.  (x^2 + y^2 = 106).

 substitute the value for x into the second equation.

(2y-1)^2 + y^2 = 106
(2y-1) (2y-1) + y^2 = 106  (use distributive property)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 = 106  (subtract 106 from both sides)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 - 106 = 106 - 106 (combine like terms)
5y^2 - 4y - 105 = 0  (factor)
(y-5) (5y-21) = 0  (set to 0)
y - 5 = 0
y = 5 

substitute the 5 into the equation for y   (x = 2(5) - 1)
           x = 9   if we square 9, we get 81.
subtracted from 106 we have 25...the square root of 25 is 5.

our answers are 5 and 9.

352, 345, 338, ...<br> Find the 43rd term.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first term = a = 352

Common difference = d = second term - first term

                                  = 345 - 352

                                   = (-7)

nth term = a + (n-1)*d

43rd term = 352 + (43-1)*(-7)

                 = 352 + 42 *(-7)

                  = 352 - 294

                  = 58

Answer:

$450,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>100% - 38% = 62% of the previous house value is the current house value after the 38% decrease.</h3><h3>We'll first convert 62% to a decimal by dividing by 100.</h3>

62% = 62 / 100 = 0.62

<h2>0.62x = 279,000</h2><h3>Multiply by (100/62) on each side.</h3><h2>x = 450,000</h2><h2>The house value when it was purchased was $450,000.</h2>

y = 4x + 9

y = 3x + 35

Required

Determine the number of people buying hotdogs (x)

Substitute 4x + 9 for y in the second equation

4x + 9 = 3x + 35

Collect Like Terms

4x - 3x = 35 - 9

x = 26
