Step-by-step explanation:

So the first step is to simply set up the problem based on what we are given. So here have two numbers, we are going to call the first number x and the second one y. With that now addressed, we can now proceed with the setup.

So the difference between the squares of the numbers is 24. So we have:

$x^{2} -y^{2} = 24$

Then it says that three times the square of the first number (which we said was x) increased by the square of the second number is 76. So:

$3x^{2} + y^{2} = 76$

Now we can see that this is simply a system of equations and we can use elimination to solve this! We even have the setup already as the coefficients in front of our y are opposite in sign and are equal. So:

$x^{2} -y^{2} = 24\\3x^{2} +y^{2} = 76$

We can cancel our y squared terms out and that leaves, when we add the equations together:

$4x^{2} = 100$

We can then solve for x by diving by four and taking the square root of the result.

$x^{2} = 25\\$

Therefore, x = ±5

We have both negative and positive answers because if we squared -5 or +5 they would both give us 25. So we cant rule a negative answer out yet.

So now we can plug in x = -5 or +5 to either equation to solve for y as so:

$5^{2} - y^{2} = 24\\25 - y^{2} = 24\\-y^{2} = -1 \\y^{2} = 1$

So y = ±1

In this case both negative and positive versions of our answer work (you can also double check), so we are left with:

x = ±5 and y = ±1

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{-5-4}{3-0}$ = $\frac{-9}{3}$ = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
