Answer:

25 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the first number is x and the second one is y.

First, the difference between them is 7, so x-y=7

Next, the sum of their squares is 949, so x²+y² = 949

We have

x-y=7

x²+y²=949

One thing we can do to solve this problem is to solve for x in the first equation, plug that into the second equation, and go from there

Adding y to both sides in the first equation, we have

x = 7 + y

Plugging that into the second equation for x, we have

(7+y)²+ y² = 949

expand

(7+y)(7+y) + y² = 949

49 + y² + 7y + 7y + y² = 949

combine like terms

2y² +14y + 49 = 949

subtract 949 from both sides to put this in the form of a quadratic equation

2y² + 14y - 900 = 0

divide both sides by 2

y² + 7y - 450 = 0

To factor this, we want to find 2 numbers that add up to 7 and multiply to -450.

The factors of 450 are as follows:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, 45, 50, 75, 90, 150, 225, and 450.

Note that we want to find two numbers with a difference of 7, as one will have to be negative for the multiplication to end up at -450. Two numbers that stand out are 18 and 25. To make them add up to 7, 18 can be negative. We therefore have

y² + 25y - 18y - 450 = 0

y(y+25) - 18(y+25) = 0

(y-18)(y+25) = 0

Solving for 0,

y-18 = 0

add 18 to both sides

y=18

y+25 = 0

subtract 25 from both sides

y= -25

As the question states "two positive integers", this means that y must be positive, so y = 18. We know x-y=7, so

x-18 = 7

add 18 to both sides to isolate x

x = 25

Your friend operates a business and has the following demand curve. Complete the table, and use the information provided to find
hichkok12 [17]

A demand curve shows the quantity demanded of a product at each price.

<h3>What is a demand curve?</h3>

Your information is incomplete as the table isn't given. Therefore, an overview will be given.

A demand curve simply means a graphical representation of the relationship between price and quantity demanded.

In this case, a demand curve shows the quantity demanded of a product at each price. The profit maximizing price is when the marginal cost equals marginal revenue.

Please help! It’s not too hard! Will mark brainliest!
Yuki888 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first part, he was travelling with twice the speed, or Vs, for distance

48 - d, for 2 hours.

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

First part :

48 - d = 2V * 2

⇒d + 4V = 48  

Second part:

d = V * 2

⇒d = 2V  

Substitute 2s for d in equation 1.

2s + 4s = 48

6s = 48

s = 8

The speed in the second part is 8 mph.

<u>The speed in the first part is 2s = 2(8) = 16</u>

I hope this helps

Hello, how can I find the slope of 4y+6x=2?
omeli [17]

You solve for y

4y=-6x+2

y=-6/4x+2

y=-2/3x+2


Slope is -2/3, the number in front of x is the slope.
