Xy=-2
x+y=6
minnus x from second equation
y=6-x
sub for y
x(6-x)=-2
6x-x^2=-2
add x^2 both sides and minus 6x both sides
0=x^2-6x-2
use quadatic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

x^2-6x-2=0
a=1
b=-6
c=-2

those are the numbers

20/52 = b/100
20 x 100/52 x b
2000/ 52b
b = 38.5
Explanation:
b is a variable that stands for the unknown quantity
Write 20/52 as equal to b/100
Next we cross multiply 20 by 100 = 2000 and 52 by b = 52b
2000/52b is equal to 38.46 but roundest to the nearest tenth it is 38.5
Answer: B. -9/8
Step-by-step explanation:
APR=18%
Monthly interest = 18/12=1.5%
If Caitlyn paid before due date,
amount liable for interest charges = 375-250 = $125
Interest charge for the month
=$125*1.5%
=$1.88
If a single expression is required, then
interest = (375-250)*0.018/12 = $1.88 to the nearest cent.
