Answer:

Maria's book is 202 pages long, Brandon's book is 146 pages long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set this up with 2 variables: lets say that Maria's book length is x and Brandon's is y.

We can see that Maria's book is 56 pages longer than Brandon's and can come up with an equation:

x=y+56

We also see that their booklengths add up to 348, and can get:

x+y=348

From here, we solve for x and y. We can use substitution to find y.

x+y=348

(y+56)+y=348

2y=292

y=146

Here we plug in for x:

x=y+56

x=(146)+56

x=202

Therefor we get that Maria's book is 202 pages long, Brandon's book is 146 pages long

What is the equation of a line that passes through point R(−4, −3) and has a slope of 7?
Ymorist [56]
M = 7 is the given slope
(x,y) = (-4,-3) is the given point

Turn to slope-intercept form and use these values to find b

y = mx+b
-3 = 7(-4)+b ... plug in the given values
-3 = -28+b
-3+28 = -28+b+28
25 = b
b = 25

since we know that m = 7 and b = 25, the equation y = mx+b turns into y = 7x+25

The final answer is choice A

Sum of the squares Of two consecutive natural numbers is 313. Find the numbers.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Set one: 12 and 13

Set two: -13 and - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number = x

Let the larger number = x + 1

x^2 + (x + 1)^2 = 313             Remove the brackets on the left.

x^2 + (x^2 + 2x + 1) = 313      

x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 313      Collect like terms

2x^2 + 2x + 1 = 313              Subtract 313 from both sides

2x^2 + 2x + 1 - 313 = 313 - 313

2x^2 + 2x - 312 = 0              Divide by 2

x^2 + x - 156 = 0

factor

There are two sets of factors that work

Set One

x = 12

x + 1 = 13

Set Two

x = - 13

x+1 = -13 + 1 = - 12

The second set is where you will get your marks. Few people will remember to use the minus answer
