A) I would make the positive integer x and then form an equation.
x + 30 = x^2 - 12
x + 42 = x^2
0 = x^2 - x - 42 this can be factorised
(x - 7) ( x + 6) Therefore x = 7 or x = -6
Since the question asks for a positive integer the answer is 7.
B) two positive numbers x and y.
X - y = 3
x^2 + y^2 = 117
Use these simultaneous equations to figure out each number.
Rearrange the first equation
x = y + 3
Then substitute it into the second equation.
(y+3)^2 + y^2 = 117
y^2 + 6y + 9 + y^2 = 117
2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
then factorise this.
(2y - 12) (y + 9)
This means that y = 6 or y = -9 but it’s 6 because that’s the only positive number.
Use y to find x
x = y + 3
x = 6 + 3
x = 9
So the answers are x = 9 and y = 6.
Answer:
56 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying length by width. since we already know the length, then we can just divide the total area by the length to find the width.
5432/97 = 56
and to check our work, make sure to multiply length by width.
97 * 56 = 5432
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3c + 5w = 16
6c + 2w = 22
-6c - 10w = -32
6c + 2w = 22
-8w = -10
w = 10/8 = 5/4 = $1.25 per lb
3c + 5(1.25) = 16
3c + 6.25 = 16
3c = 9.75
c = $3.25 per lb
