Answer:

(3, 2), (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 5

xy = 6

Solve the first equation for x.

x = 5 - y

Substitute 5 - y for x in the second equation.

xy = 6

(5 - y)y = 6

5y - y² = 6

y² - 5y + 6 = 0

Factor.

(y - 2)(y - 3) = 0

y - 2 = 0 or y - 3 = 0

y = 2 or y = 3

Now substitute 2 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 2 = 5

x = 3

One solution is x = 3; y = 2, or (3, 2).

Now substitute 3 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 3 = 5

x = 2

Another solution is x = 2; y = 3, or (3, 2).

Answer: (3, 2), (2, 3)

Ty has 230 pages of text to

Alona [7]

The first thing I would do is divide the rate by 1 1/4, to get the amount per hour which gives us this:
20 pages per 1 hour
Now, that we know he reads 20 pages per hour, we just divide 230 by 20 to find the amount of hours. Our answer comes out to 11.5 hours.

a boat takes 8 hours to go 6 miles upstream and come back to the starting point. if the speed of the boat is 4 miles per hour in

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Consider this option:
1. if to re-write the condition, it is given: total time t=8 hours; upstream=downstream=6 miles; V_boat=4 m/h., V_current=V=?
2. note, that total time=time_upstream+time_downstream, where time_upstream=6miles/(V_boat-V) and time_downstream=6miles/(V_boat+V). Using this it is possible to make up and solve the following equation:
$\frac{6}{4+V} + \frac{6}{4-V} =8; \ =\ \textgreater \ \ \frac{V^2-10}{16-V^2}=0; \ =\ \textgreater \ \ V=\sqrt{10} \ \frac{miles}{hour}$

answer: √10

P.S. the roots of the equation are √10 and (-√10), only positive values is needed for V.
