OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

y=13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im doing something wrong?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

85^2-84^2=169 sqrt169=13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did 84^2 85^2 then multiplied the powers then subtracted 85 from 84. got 1^2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

84*84=7056

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

85*85=7225

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

7225-7056=169

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

sqrt169=13
