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.
B. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
y=x+2 equation 1
2x-y=-4 equation 2
This is a simultaneous equation.
Substitute equation 1 into equation 2
2x-y=-4. Since y=x+2
2x-(x+2) = -4
2x-x-2 = -4
x-2 = -4
x = -4+2
x = -2
Also from equation 1
y=x+2
Since x=-2
y=-2+2
y=0
Then, solution (x, y) = (-2,0)
