Larger is x
the other is called y
sum of squares is 394
x^2+y^2=394
one is 2 less that other
x>y so
y+2=x
subsitute y+2 for x
(y+2)^2+y^2=394
expand
y^2+4y+4+y^2=394
add like terms
2y^2+4y+4=394
divideboth sides by 2
y^2+2y+2=197
subtract 197 from both sides
y^2+2y-195=0
factor
(y+15)(y-13)=0
set each to zero
y+15=0
y=-15
impossible since it is stated that they are positive so get rid of this solution
y-13=0
y=13
find other
y+2=x
13+2=x
15=x
numbers are 13 and 15
Answer:
the answer is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x) = 2 x - 5
15 = 2 x - 5
2 x - 5 = 15
2 x = 15 + 5
2 x = 20
x = 20 / 2
x = 10
hope this helps!
