Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first sentence x (the number) is 2 more than another number (y). So, x+2=y. The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 42, meaning that \\ (x+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42. First, we square root the ENTIRE equation to get rid of the square. If you do one thing to one side, you have to do it to the other. After this, we have x+2+y=\sqrt{42}. Now, we subtract 2 from the other side to isolate the variable. You can isolate either one but normally I go for x. Now we have x+y=\sqrt{42}+2. Now, we want to get y to the other side so we subtract it from the left side and the right side which gives us x=-y+\sqrt{42}+2. now we know what X is equal to. Now we plug in x for \\ (x+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42, which gives us          (-y+\sqrt42}+2+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42. Now we only have one variable which is what we want. Next, we square root the entire thing to get rid of the squares, which gives us -y+\sqrt{42}+4+y=\sqrt{42}. I got lost in my work. I must have done something wrong I cant find out. If anyone wants to pick up where I left off go ahead but there's a timer and I have one minute left. I cant finish the problem in a minute. I'm sorry and hopefully I lead you somewhere.

Matt and Cat win £120 on the lottery and decide to share the winning ratio 1:2
8_murik_8 [283]
The way to work out how much each person gets is to find out how much one part is worth.

We can do this by adding the ratio (1:2) which gives us 3.

Divide £120 by 3 parts and you get £40 as one part. 

Because the ratio is one part : two parts, Matt gets £40 and Cat gets £80.
