So you want to find two numbers that add up to -13 and multiply to
40. You can find the factors of 40 and find the pair that adds up to
-13. -8 and -5 multiply to 40 and add up to -13.
<span><span>(x−5)</span><span>(x−8)</span>=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>
You can use foil to test it
<span><span>x2</span>+<span>(−8x)</span>+<span>(−5x)</span>+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+40</span>
<span><span>x2</span>−13x+40=<span>x2</span>−13x+</span>
Answer:
Hello! :) have a good day!
2x + 12
Answer:
The answer is D
(x=3, y=8)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to reduce as many variable as we can so, we can obtain the value for the remaining variables.
Therefore, the first equation y=x+5 multiply it -2., you have -2y=-2x-10 and sum it to the second (2y-x=13), you will obtain the following: -x=13-2x-10.
You have x=3.
If you substitute x=3 in the first equation, you have y=8
