Answer:
4.6 or if you rounded it would be 5
Can we see an attachment of the problem?
Equation is (x+2)^2 - x^2 = 7676
solve the equation by first opening the bracket of (x+2)^2 by A^2 + 2AB +C^2
you'll end up with 4x + 4 = 7672
thus x = 1918 and the next number is 1920.
First write out all the two digit square numbers
4² = 16
5² = 25
6² = 36
7² = 49
8² = 64
9² = 81
Next divide all of them by 7
16/7 = 2 2/7 or 2 and 2 remainders
25/7 = 3 4/7 or 3 and 4 remainders
36/7 = 5 1/7 or 5 and 1 remainder
49/7 = 7
64/7 = 9 1/7 or 9 and 1 remainder
81/7 = 11 4/7 or 11 and 4 remainders
This tells us that the only possible remainders for a two digit square number divided by 7 are 1, 2 and 4
If Doris got 6 and Horace got 3, they must have made a mistake.
And what else is in the problem I do not get what the problem is
