We have to present the number 41 as the sum of two squares of consecutive positive integers.

1² = 1

2² = 4

3² = 9

4² = 16

5² = 25

16 + 25 = 41

<h3>Answer: 4 and 5</h3>

Other method:

n, n + 1 - two consecutive positive integers

The equation:

n² + (n + 1)² = 41     <em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>

n² + n² + 2(n)(1) + 1² = 41

2n² + 2n + 1 = 41     <em>subtract 41 from both sides</em>

2n² + 2n - 40 = 0     <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

n² + n - 20 = 0

n² + 5n - 4n - 20= 0

n(n + 5) - 4(n + 5) = 0

(n + 5)(n - 4) = 0 ↔ n + 5 = 0 ∨ n - 4 =0

n = -5 < 0 ∨ n = 4 >0

n = 4

n + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

<h3>Answer: 4 and 5.</h3>

Solve the system of equations by substitution and show work.<br> ​​y=−6x+13<br> y=3x+4
sukhopar [10]

Answer: x= 1 , y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -6x + 13 ................. equation 1

y = 3x + 4 ................ equation 2

substitute y = 3x + 4 into equation 1 , then we have

3x + 4 = - 6x + 13

collect the like terms , we have

3x + 6x = 13 - 4

9x = 9

x = 1

substitute x = 1 into equation 2 , we have

y = 3(1) + 4

y = 3 + 4

y = 7

Therefore : x = 1 and y = 7
