Answer:

The answer to your question is

x = -2 and y = 10     or   x = 10 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

          x + y = 8   (1)      from (1)    x = 8 - y

         xy = - 20    (2)

       

Solve them by substitution

      (8 - y) y = - 20

      8y - y² = -20

      y² - 8y - 20 = 0

   ( y - 10) (y + 2) = 0

    y - 10 = 0              and      y + 2 = 0

   <u> y1 = 10 </u>                               <u>y2 = -2</u>

 x1 = 8 - 10                             x2 = 8 - -2

 <u>x1 = -2</u>                                  <u> x2 = 10</u>

1. A catering company’s recipe for salad uses a ratio of 2 c of dressing to 4 lb of vegetables. (a) Draw a model for the ratio.
IRISSAK [1]
1. ratio = 2 c of dressing / 4 lb of vegetables

Use two variables: d for the number of c of dressing and v for the number of pounds of vegetables.

Then d / v = 2/4 = 1/2 => d = v/2

Now you can make a table

v     d  

2    1

4    2

6    3

8    2

And you can draw a line for the points (2,1); (4,2); (6,3), (8,4) ... the slope of the graph is the ratio = 1/2

b) I already did it above as part ot the explanation: d/v = 1/2

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2h/2 = 6/2

h = 3.
