Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger number.

Let y be the smaller number.

x - y = 5

x^2 - y^2 = 65                   Factor the left.

(x - y)(x + y) = 65               Substitute the first equation into this equation.

5 *(x + y) = 65                   Divide both sides by 5

x + y = 65/5

x + y = 13

Now list the two binomials one after the other.

x + y = 13

x - y =  5                           Add

2x = 18                             Divide by 2

2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9

x + y = 13                          Substitute 9 for x

9 + y = 13                          Subtract 9 from both sides.

y =  13 - 9

y = 4

Answer

  • <em>x = 9</em>
  • <em>y = 4 </em>

The length of a swimming pool is 8 m longer than it's width and the area is 105m²​
Art [367]

width= 7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= L×W

L= (x+8)m

W=8m

105m²= (x+8)m × (x)m

105m²= x² + 8x

-x² - 8x + 105= 0

(x-7) (x+15) = 0

x= 7 x= -15

x=width = 7m
