Answer:

let y be the total number of students.

y×40/100=18

18×100/40=y

45=y

The difference between two positive integers is 7 and the sum of their squares is 949. What are the numbers?
Darina [25.2K]

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

G es to prove that if a, b, and c are integers, where a ≠ 0 and c ≠ 0, such that ac | bc, then a |
Alex Ar [27]
ac\mid bc means there exists an integer n such that ac=bcn. We can divide both sides by c because c\neq0. This implies a=bn for some integer, which is identically a\mid b.
