The product of two integers is 72.one number is two less than 5 times the other

1 answer:

4 0

X*y=72
x = 5y-2

x=72/y
72/y=5y-2

72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18

(18,4)

Hello, the graph is split in two lines, right?

Go to the first line at the left and move to the right until you reach the end of the line, which is for x = -1,

*** This is the meaning of x tending to

$(-1)^{-}$ ***

which value can you see for the y-axis? $\boxed{-2}$

Now, go to the second line at the right and move to the left until you reach the end of the line, which is for x = -1,

*** This is the meaning of x tending to

$(-1)^{+}$ ***

which value can you see for the y-axis?

$\boxed{-7}$

5/4 to 3/8 as a percent change

Digiron [165]

Well, what's the diffrence from 5/4 to 3/8?

$\bf \cfrac{5}{4}-\cfrac{3}{8}\qquad \stackrel{\textit{LCD is 8 clearly}}{\implies }\qquad \cfrac{10-3}{8}\implies \cfrac{7}{8}$

so, if we take 5/4 to be the 100%, what is 7/8 off of it in percentage anyway?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{5}{4}&100\\\\
\frac{7}{8}&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{5}{4}\quad }{\frac{7}{8}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{4}\cdot \cfrac{8}{7}=\cfrac{100}{x}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{40}{28}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{28\cdot 100}{40}$
