We assume the two numbers are x and (x+1)
so x^2+(x+1)^2=421
x^2+(x^2+2x+1)=421
2x^2+2x-420=0
According to the formula of quadratic
x=14 or-15
cuz we know the two numbers are integers
so x=14
therefore the other number is 15
To make sure that's correct
14^2+15^2=421
Hope that helps you!!
C. 2x + 3
You have many ways to solve this!
You could...
A) multiply all the answer choices by 3x-2 and see what matches
B) Factor the trinomial
C) Divide the trinomial by the binomial using long division
Answer:
a. L.B. = 20.5
b. U.B. = 21.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Length is measured 21 cm correct to 2 significant figures
a. Lower bound of 21
= 20.5 < 21
= 20.5
b. Upper bound of 21
= 21 < 21.5
= 21.5
D; 1 and 6 are being added together first then divided by 7, so need the parentheses around 1 and 6
C is the correct answer, -7 is smaller than 7.
