Question

42 is divided into two parts, such that one part is the square of the other. Form the equation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

42 is divided into 2 parts

1st part is x

2nd part is 42-x

x^2=42-x

x^2+x-42=0

X^2+7 x - 6 x -42=0

x(x-7)-6(x-7)=0

x=7,6

If x=6 it is possible

Therefore x=6 and 2nd part is 36
