Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 14 ONLY

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, set up an equation.

Set  

x

equal to the lower number, and  

x

+

2

as the higher number since they are consecutive even numbers so they are two apart.

Now write out the equation according to the question

(

x

)

2

+

(

x

+

2

)

2

=

Combine like terms.

(

x

−

)

=

x

=

−

14

,

12

x

=

12

because the answer must be positive according to the question.

That means  

x

+

2

is 14.

You can double check:

(

)

2

+

(

14

)

2

=

340

Determine the intercepts of the line.
djverab [1.8K]

y = -3x +12\\\\\text{Plug x = 0 to find  y - intercept,}\\\\y = -3(0) +12 = 12\\\\\text{So, y-intercept is (0,12).}\\\\\text{Plug y=0 to find  x - intercept,}\\\\0 = -3x +12\\\\\implies -3x = -12\\\\\implies 3x = 12\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{12}{3} = 4 \\\\\\\text{So, x - intercept is (4,0).}
