Answer: 2nd option
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
n=5
n=9
n=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
9=a
12-b
Plug in the numbers
First positive number (x) = x
Second positive number (y) = x+3
Product: 180 = x · y
180 = x · (x + 3)
180 = x² + 3x
0 = x² + 3x - 180
0 = (x + 15)(x - 12)
0 = x + 15, 0 = x - 12
x = -15, x = 12
x = -15 is NOT a positive number so it can be disregarded.
Answer: 12
