-13 and -14

Since -27 is odd, divide it by 2 and ignore the remainder. You'll get -13. So, -27=-13+-14

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first integer

x + 1 = second integer

x + x + 1 = -27

2x + 1 = -27

2x = -27 - 1

2x = -28

x = -28/2

x = -14

x + 1 = -14 + 1 = -13

so ur 2 numbers are : -13 and -14

Answer:

x = 11, y=-½

Step-by-step explanation:

Simultaneous equations - subtract the first equation from the second.

x + 4y = 9

-(x - 2y = 12)

6y = -3

y = -½

Substitute y

x + 4(-½) = 9

x + -2 = 9

x = 11

The sum of the squares of two positive integers is 185. If one integer is 3 less than the other, fine the larger integer.

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \ 11 \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

let's note the two integers a and b

$a^2+b^2=185 \ and \\\\a = b - 3$

We are asked to find b

replace a in the first equation

$(b-3)^2+b^2=185\\\\b^2-6b+9+b^2=185\\\\ 2b^2-6b+9-185=0\\\\ 2b^2-6b-176=0\\\\ b^2-3b-88=0\\\\b^2+8b-11b-88=0\\\\b(b+8)-11(b+8)=0\\\\(b-11)(b+8)=0\\\\ b = 11 \ or \ b = -8$

As b must be a positive integer, the solution is 11

Hope this helps
