The total number of people who applied to U.S. medical schools this year would be 57,019.

29,250 - 1,481 = 27,769
29,250 + 27,769 = 57,019

The sum of squares of two consecutive odd numbers is 514 find the numbers

amid [387]

Correct Question : The sum of squares of two consecutive positive odd numbers is 514. Find the numbers.

$\rule{130}1$

Solution :

Let the two consecutive positive odd numbers be x and (x + 2)

$\rule{130}1$

☯ $\underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}$

$:\implies\sf x^2 + (x + 2)^{2} = 514 \\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 514\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 514 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x = 514 - 4\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x = 510 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x - 510 = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + 2x - 255 = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Dividing\:by\:2}\Bigg\rgroup\\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + 17x - 15x - 255 = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf x(x + 17) - 15(x + 17) = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf (x + 17) (x - 15)\\\\\\:\implies\sf x = - 17\:or\:x = 15\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed {\sf x = 15}}\:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Positive\:odd\: number}\Bigg\rgroup$

When,

$\bullet\: \textsf {x = } \textbf {15}$

$\bullet\: \sf x + 2 = 15 + 2 =\textbf{ 17}$

$\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{The required positive integer is \textbf{15 and 17}}}.$

Write the sum of the numbers as the product of their gcf and another sum Problem: 30+54

omeli [17]

The correct answer here is that the sum has to be 84. This is due to the fact that 30 + 54 is 84, and the greatest common factor is 6 because the factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 , 10, 15, and 54's Factors: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, and 54, so from this we can see that 6 is the great common factor.
