The length of side A in centimeters is 6cm
D. 6
Answer:
No the question iant a function
Well right off the bat, I can see a good reason why it should boggle.
If (x+y)=6 and (x-y)=2, then (x+y)(x-y) would be 12. It can't be 20.
The first 4 lines on the paper are inconsistent, so the question in the 5th line can't be calculated.
Another possible source of uncertainty (for us, anyway) is the remarkable similarity between the way you write ' Y ' and the way you write ' 4 ' . For example, look at the ' Y⁴ ' (I think ...) in the last line.
Answer:
4 and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming your 2nd sentence should be: "The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 41"
X + Y = 9 {equation 1}
X² + Y² = 41 {equation 2}
from equation 1: y = 9-x
Substitute that into equation 2
x² + (9-x)² = 41
x² + 81 - 18x + x²= 41
2x² - 18x + 40 = 0
We can factor out a 2
x² - 9x + 20 = 0
(x-5)(x-4) = 0
x = 5 or 4
checking
Your two numbers are 4 and 5
4² + 5²
= 16 + 25
= 41
