The square of one number is 23 less than the square of a second number. If the second number is 1 more than the first, what are the two numbers? If x represents the smaller number, then which of the following quadratic equations represents the word problem? o (x + 23)2 = x2 + 2x + 1 x2 + 23 = x2 + 1 Ox2 + 23 = x2 + 2x + 1​
