Answer:
The short answer is there isn’t.
Start by writing each of these as an expression:
x * y = 60
x + y = 7
Next, solve each for the same variable; in this case, y:
(x * y) / x = 60 / x
.: y = 60 / x
(x + y) - x = 7 - x
.: y = 7 - x
Next, replace y of the second expression to the first
y = 60 / x & y = 7 - x
.: 7 - x = 60 / x
Now, solve for x:
(7 - x) * x = (60 / x) * x
.: x * 7 - x^2 = 60
This is quadratic, so write it in the form of ax2 + bx + x = 0
(-1)x^2 + (7)x + (-60) = 0
.: a = -1, b = 7, c = -60
Finally solve for b:
x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / 2a
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(7^2 - 4*-1*-60)) / (2 * -1)
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(49 - 240)) / -2
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(-191)) / -2
The square root of a negative value is imaginary and thus there’s no real answer to this problem.
If both numbers are negative u add those up and ur answer will be a negative. so number one is negative 9.
if there is more positive ur answer will be a positive. so number 2 is 13.
number is more complicated so negative 3 +4 is 1 because u have more positive and u just subtract those then 1 minus 8 equals negative 7 and negative 7 minus 7 is 0. hope this helps
You'll need to convert both speeds into yards per minute.
12 mph = 12 mph 1760 yd 60 min
---------- * ------------ * ----------
1 mile 1 hr
Note that "miles" cancels. So does "hours." Finish this work.
Then convert 4.4 ft/sec into yards per minute.
Then, finally, compare your two rates via subtraction of the smaller from the larger.
