then, 19 − 𝑥 = the other number and
the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 𝑥 2 + (19 − 𝑥)2 .
Equation
𝑥 2 + (19 − 𝑥)2 = 193 The sum of the squares of the numbers is 193.
Math Note
𝑥 2 + (361 − 38𝑥 + 𝑥 2 ) = 193 Square the binomial.
Zero Product
Property 2𝑥 2 − 38𝑥 + 168 = 0 Combine like terms.
𝑥 2 − 19𝑥 + 84 = 0 Divide by two.

If 𝑎𝑏 = 0, then

𝑏 = 0.
𝑥 − 7 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 − 12 = 0 Equate each factor to 0. (Zero Product Property)
𝑥 = 7 or 𝑥 = 12 Solve for the roots.
Checking:
If we take 𝑥 = 7, then the other number is (19 − 7) = 12.
Thus, the two numbers are 7 and 12.
Answer: Two numbers are 7 and 12.

Example 1 ǀ Number Problem (another method)
The sum of two numbers is 19. The sum of the squares of the numbers is 193.
Find the two numbers.
Solution: BY USING QUADRATIC FORMULA

Let 𝑥 = one of the numbers
then, 19 − 𝑥 = the other number and
the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 𝑥 2 + (19 − 𝑥)2 .
Equation
𝑥 2 + (19 − 𝑥)2 = 193 The sum of the squares of the numbers is 193.
𝑥 2 + (361 − 38𝑥 + 𝑥 2 ) = 193 Square the binomial.

Property of Equality Use the formula for the Area of a Rectangle. 𝐴 = (𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ)(𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ)
If 𝑎 = 𝑏, then 𝐴 = 𝑙𝑤 Original equation
𝑎+𝑐 =𝑏+𝑐
If 𝑎 = 𝑏, then 12 = (𝑥 + 4)(𝑥) Replace l with (𝑥 + 4), w with (𝑥), A with 12
𝑎 + (−𝑐) = 𝑏 + (−𝑐) 12 = 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 Distribute 𝑥 (Eq.1)
𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = 4, 𝑐 = 12 Assigning of values
Coefficient of the linear term which is 4, divide by 2
then square the result
12 + 4 = 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4 Adding the previous result to Eq.1 (APE)
16 = 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4 Simplify (right side is a perfect square trinomial)
16 = (𝑥 + 2)2 Factor

±4 = 𝑥 + 2 Square Root Property
4 = 𝑥 + 2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 − 4 = 𝑥 + 2 Solve
𝑥 = 2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 = −6 Solve (APE)
The roots are 2 and −6.
Since 𝑥 represents the width, we only need a positive dimension, so we need to reject −6.
So, 𝑥 = 2 (width)
𝑥 + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6 (length)

Formulated equation using the difference between

their travel times which is 1 hour

90(𝑥 + 1) − 90(𝑥) = 𝑥(𝑥 + 1) Multiply both sides by the LCD 𝑥(𝑥 + 1)

90𝑥 + 90 − 90𝑥 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑥 Simplify (Distributive Property)

𝑥 2 + 𝑥 − 90 = 0 Combine like terms

𝑥 + 10 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 − 9 = 0 Equate each factor to 0. (Zero Product Property)

𝑥 = −10 or 𝑥 = 9 Solve for the roots

𝑥=9 Reject −10 because there is no negative rate;
