SOURPATCH !!!

OpenStudy (3mar):

May I help?

OpenStudy (smartbrain):

Sure, yes please do.

OpenStudy (3mar):

With my pleasure!

OpenStudy (3mar):

For the first piece, "One number is 4 more than another" Name one number as x, and the other as y, then translate the sentence....

OpenStudy (smartbrain):

x4 - y

OpenStudy (3mar):

GREAT!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Can you do the same thing for the second piece? I think you can

OpenStudy (3mar):

Sorry! where is the equal sign in at this "x4 - y"??

OpenStudy (3mar):

=??? What it eual to?

OpenStudy (3mar):

No man Rearrange your equation.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok The first would be \[y=4x\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

ok?

OpenStudy (3mar):

And the second will be \[y^2-x^2=120\] Does it make sense?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Firstly, you should be convinced with them!

OpenStudy (3mar):

After you get the solution, just try them to make sure they are correct!

OpenStudy (3mar):

Think again

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

you know that y=4x and y^2 -x^2 = 120 substitute this value of 4x in place of y so what will get ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes these are these two numbers what is your question ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what mean consecutive integers ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the first let be x and the consecutive of x will be (x+1) right ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and the sum of their squares equal 841 so x^2 +(x+1)^2 = 841 do you can solve it for x ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

for (x+1)^2 use formula (a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@OtherWorldly your opinion about this please ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@smartbrain please collaborate

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

it is (x+2) + (x+4)= 841

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

oh sorry that is consecutive odd/even integer it is (x+1) +(x+2) =841 and i do not think that is the answer

OpenStudy (smartbrain):

It was right. I used the formula @jhonyy9 wrote and the answer of 20, 21 are correct.

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

well then now u know not to always believe everyone online XD

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

good job not listening to me XD

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. @smartbrain was my pleasure good luck bye bye

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

OpenStudy (otherworldly):
