The two numbers I will call x and y.
x + y = 31
x * y = 150

You then solve for one variable in either equation and substitute it into the other equation.

x + y = 31
x = 31 - y

Then you plug it in:
x * y = 150
(31 - y) * y = 150
-y² + 31y = 150
y² - 31y + 150 = 0            Then factor:
(y - 6)(y - 25) = 0
y - 6 = 0        y - 25 = 0
y = 6             y = 25

When you plug y into the original equations, it comes out that the two numbers are 6 and 25. You can check your work because 6+25 = 31 and 6*25 = 150. Hope this helps! :)

What is the equation of a line that goes through the point (0,2) and has a slope of -1 ?
OLEGan [10]

Answer: <u><em>A, because when x=1/-1 you don't need to write down the one meaning it is -x and then +2 is the y which means the full answer is y=-x+2</em></u>
