Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "The unknown positive integers are 3 and -12."

Eight times the square of a positive integer divided by two equals 144 minus 36 times the positive integer.

8 * x^2 / 2 = 144 - 36x
4*x^2 = 144 - 36 x
x^2 = 36 - 9x
x^2 + 9x - 36 = 0
(x - 3) (x + 12) = 0

x - 3 = 0
x = 3

x + 12 = 0
x = -12

= 9 - 2 - 4s

= 7 - 4s

Here, 1 , 8 & (-2) are like term and when we add we get 7

-3s & -s are like terms. Add the coefficient of s , -3 +(-1) = -4
