Answer:

-5 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers (let's just say number a and number b) is 12.

a + b = 12

The difference between the same two numbers (still a and b) is 22.

b - a = 22

(Move variable a to the right side to get the following.)

b = 22 + a

(This way, we can substitute b = 22 + a into the first equation, a + b = 12, and solve.)

a + (22 + a) = 12

a + a + 22 = 12

2a = -10

a = -5

a + b = 12

-5 + b = 12

b = 17

Write the exact value of the side length of each square. If the value is not a whole number, estimate the length.

Savatey [412]

Given:

The area of the squares are given.

To find:

The exact side length or estimate side length of the square.

Solution:

We know that, the area of a square is

$A=a^2$

Where, a is the side length of the square.

$a=\sqrt{A}$

Area of the square is 100 square units. So, the side length is:

$a=\sqrt{100}$

$a=10$

Therefore, the side length is 10 units.

Area of the square is 95 square units. So, the side length is:

$a=\sqrt{95}$

It is not exact. We know that $\sqrt{81}$ .

Therefore, the side length is between 9 and 10.

Area of the square is 36 square units. So, the side length is:

$a=\sqrt{36}$

$a=6$

Therefore, the side length is 6 units.

Area of the square is 30 square units. So, the side length is:

$a=\sqrt{30}$

It is not exact. We know that $\sqrt{25}$ .

Therefore, the side length is between 5 and 6.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

x+6 and x+2 are factors

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+8x+12

(x+6)(x+2)

So x+6 and x+2 are factors of x²+8x+12
