Answer: the integers are 6 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent one of the integers.

Let y represent the other integer.

The product of the integers is 138. This means that

xy = 138 - - - - - - - - - -1

One of the integers is seven less than five times the other integer. This means that

x = 5y - 7

Substituting x = 5y - 7 into equation 1, it becomes

y(5y - 7) = 138

5y² - 7y = 138

5y² - 7y - 138 = 0

5y² + 23y - 30y - 138 = 0

y(5y + 23) - 6(5y + 23)

y - 6 = 0 or 5y + 23 = 0

y = 6 or y = - 23/5

The only possible value of y is 6

x = 138/y = 138/6

x = 23

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

x² + bx + c = 0 if x₁ + x₂ = -b and x₁x₂ = c

Solving :-

a) x₁ = 1/2 and x₂ = -3/4

=> x² + -(1/2 + -3/4)x + 1/2(-3/4)

=> x² + -(-1/4)x + (-3/8)

=> x² + 1/4x - 3/8

=> 8x² + 2x - 3 = 0

b) x₁ = 1 + √5 and x₂ = 1 - √5

=> x² + -(1 + √5 + 1 - √5)x + (1 + √5)(1 - √5)

=> x² - 2x + 1 - 5

=> x² - 2x - 4 = 0

A package of 25 wristbands cost $5.25. At this rate, what is the cost of 1 wristband in dollars and cents?
azamat

Answer:

$0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion. Say x is the cost of 1 wristband:

\frac{5.25}{25} =\frac{x}{1}

Now, we cross multiply:

25x = 5.25

Solving for x, we see that x = 0.21.

Thus, the answer is $0.21.

olga_2 [115]
The probability that both of the students are on Team D is about 5.56%

There are 4 teams, so the first person has a 1/4 chance of being on Team D.

However, for the second person, there are only 6 spots left out of 27 to be on Team D.

To find the combined probability, we need to multiply the two fractions.

1/4 times 6/27 = 1/18 or about 5.56%
