What 2 numbers multiply to be -14 and add to be -3

Svetach [21]

Xy = -14
x + y = -3

$xy = -14$
$\frac{xy}{x} = \frac{-14}{x}$
$y = \frac{-14}{x}$

$x + y = -3$
$x + \frac{-14}{x} = -3$
$\frac{x^{2}}{x} + \frac{-14}{x} = -3$
$\frac{x^{2} - 14}{x} = -3$
$x^{2} - 14 = -3x$
$x^{2} + 3x - 14 = 0$
$x = \frac{-(3) \± \sqrt{(3)^{2} - 4(1)(-14)}}{2(1)}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± \sqrt{9 + 56}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± \sqrt{65}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-3 \± 8.06}{2}$
$x = -1.5 \± 4.03$
$x = -1.5 + 4.03$ $or$ $x = -1.5 - 4.03$
$x = 2.53$ $or$ $x = -5.53$

  x + y = -3
2.53 + y = -3
- 2.53 - 2.53
  y = -5.53
  (x, y) = (2.53, -5.53)

x + y = -3
  -5.53 + y = -3
+ 5.53   + 5.53
  y = 2.53
  (x, y) = (-5.53, 2.53)

The two numbers that multiply to -14 and add up to -3 are -5.53 and 2.53.

Solve the equation x. 3 = x/3 + 4

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3 = x/ 3 + 4

This is same as

3/1 = x/ 3 + 4

Then cross multiply

1(x + 4) = 3× 3

x + 4 = 9

x = 9 - 4

x = 5
