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.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Angles and Lines</u>
We must recall:
- The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180°
- Two linear angles add up to 180°
The image shows a triangle and the extension of its base to form two linear angles.
Note from the triangle, angle R is what it takes to get to 180°:
From the line SQ, angle R what it takes to get to 180°. Thus:
Equating:
Subtracting 180 and simplifying:
Dividing by 19:
x=3
Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS
no parenthesis
no exponents
4-6+2 x 7
4-6+ 17
no division
4-6=2
2+17
19 is the answer
First move the 4y to the right and the 1 to the left:
4y=5x-1
Then divide everything by 4:
y=5/4 x - 1/4
