The square of one number is 23 less than the square of a second number. If the second number is 1 more than the first, what are
the two numbers?
If x represents the smaller number, then which of the following quadratic equations represents the word problem?
a. x² + 23 = x² + 2x + 1
b. (x + 23)² = x² + 2x + 1
c. x² + 23 = x² + 1
2 answers:
The correct answer is a
(X+1)^2 - x^2=23
X^2 + 2x + 1 -x^2 =23
2x +1 =23
2x =22
X= 11
X+1= 12
Yeah I think I had the test and A is right

Answer:
2 to 4 or simplified 1 to 2
Step-by-step explanation:
There 2 green marbles and 4 orange marbles so the ratio is 2 to 4
You can simplify that down to 1 to 2
Draw a diagram to illustrate problem as shown below.
Let h = the height of the tree.
Because ΔABC ~ ΔADE, therefore
DE/BC = AD/AB
That is,
h/1.94 = (5.1 + 10.2)/5.1 = 3
h = 1.94*3 = 5.82 m
Answer: 5.82 m
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, simplify the expression then use inverse operations to isolate x.

Answer:
Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
These are perpendicular line which intersect at (-4, -9).
Vertical line is x = -4.
Horizontal lone is y = -9.
