Answer:
The smaller number is 3. The number 3 squared is 9, plus the other number 5 squared, which is 25. when you add them, you get 34

Step-by-step explanation:
x = first number
y = second number
a. x+2 = y
b. x^2 + y^2 = 34
Replace y from equation a into equation b:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 34
Expand it
x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 34
2*x^2 + 4x = 30
2x^2 + 4x - 30=0
solving x:
x = -5 and x =3 , it says it is a positive number, then it is x is 3
and the second number, y = x + 2
y = 5
Lets test it!
3^2 + 5^ 2 = 9 + 25 = 34

A company sells fruit cups in packs of 4. The packs currently weigh 20 oz. The company plans to reduce the weight of each cup by
skad [1K]

Answer:

4 ( 5 - n )

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression:

20 – 4n

Task:  Rewrite the expression for the new weight as a product of two factors.

To do this we simply have to find the highest common factor (HCF) between 20 and 4n

20 = 4 * 5

4n = 4 * n

The HCF = 4

Expressing as a product of two factors;

4 ( 5 - n )

(Urgent plz help :”) )Find the value of w.
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The value of w is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse²=Perpendicular²+Base²

H²=P²+B²

Here,

Hypotenuse given=7√2

w=y

Perpendicular=Base=x

(7√2)²=x²+x²

49*2=2x²

(49*2)/2=x²

49=x²

√49=x

7=x

Perpendicular=x=7
