X + y = 15
xy = -312

     x + y = 15
x - x + y = -x + 15
           y = -x + 15

                                           xy = -312
                               x(-x + 15) = -312
                           x(-x) + x(15) = -312
                                 -x² + 15x = -312
                       -x² + 15x + 312 = 0
           -1(x²) - 1(-15x) - 1(312) = 0
                    -1(x² - 15x + 312) = 0
                                  -1              -1
                          x² - 15x + 312 = 0
                          x = -(-15) ± √((-15)² - 4(1)(312))
                                                  2(1)
                          x = 15 ± √(225 - 1248)
                                               2
                          x = 15 ± √(-1023)
                                         2
                          x = 15 ± 31.984i
                                         2
                          x = 7.5 ± 15.992
                          x = 7.5 + 15.992    or    x = 7.5 - 15.992
                          x = 23.492        or         x = -8.492

              x + y = 15
     23.492 + y = 15
   - 23.492        - 23.492
                    y = -8.492
              (x, y) = (23.492, -8.492)

                      or

              x + y = 15
     -8.492 + y = 15
   + 8.492         + 8.492
                   y = 23.492
             (x, y) = (-8.492, 23.492)

The two numbers that add up to 15 and mutliply to -312 are -8.492 and 23.492.

Miguel napped for 2 2/5 hours. Danalya napped too. Combined they napped for 3 3/4 hours
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Danalya napped 1 7/20 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=3+3/4−2−2/5

Solving the whole number parts

3−2=1

Solving the fraction parts

3/4−2/5=?

Find the LCD of 3/4 and 2/5 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 20

15/20−8/20= 7/20

Combining the whole and fraction parts

1+7/20= 1 7/20

3(x-4)=-5 solve for x
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

x = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-4)=-5

Distribute

3x - 12 = -5

Add 12 to each side

3x -12+12 = -5+12

3x = 7

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 7/3

x = 7/3

On Tuesday kali by five CDs on Wednesday Half of all the CDs that she had were destroyed on Thursday there were 22 left how many
pshichka [43]

Answer:

39

Work:

(x+5)/2=22

We will reverse this equation.

We will start by moving the 2 through inverse operations.

22x2=44

Now we have the equation

x+5=44

We will subtract 5

44-5=39

x=39

the unknown variable equals 39

17. Julie has $80 in her savings account and plans to save Sr each
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$8(x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression $8x + $80  has two terms. They are $8x and $80.

When you factor an expression, you are looking for numbers that every term in the expression can divide by (and give a whole number).

Just by looking at the terms, you see they both have $ you can factor out. They can both also be divided by 8. This is called taking out a common factor.

$8x + $80     Take out the common factor

= ($8x) / $8 + ($80) / $8

= $8(x + 10)      The common factor goes outside the terms' bracket

This expression can't be factored more because there are no common factors. The binomial also doesn't have square numbers for example, which might make a case where you need to factor further with different methods.
