The numbers:  x, y
x·y=-14
x+y=5    ⇒    y=5-x
Substitute y in the first equation by y from second one
x·(5-x)=-14
5x-x²=-14
-x²+5x+14=0
-x²-2x+7x+14=0
-x(x+2)+7(x+2)=0
(x+2)(-x+7)=0
Product is 0 if one of factors is 0
x+2=0      or        -x+7=0
x=-2         or         -x=-7
x=-2         or           x=7
Now back to the equation y=5-x
y=5-(-2)    or     y=5-7
y=7           or     y=-2

The numbers are -2 and 7

How many ounces of a 15% alcohol solution must be mixed with 8 ounces of a 20% alcohol solution to make a 17% alcohol solution?
Tasya [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = ounces of 20% solution

15% = 0.15

20% = 0.2

17% = 0.17

x × 0.15 + 8×0.2 = (8 + x)×0.17

x×0.15 + 8×0.2 = 8×0.17 + x×0.17

8×0.2 = 8×0.17 + x×0.02

8×0.03 = x×0.02

x = 8×0.03/0.02 = 12 ounces

we need to mix the 8 ounces of 20% with 12 ounces of 15% to get 17% alcohol (8 + 12 = 20 ounces of it).

Solve the inequality 4x+6&lt;6x-8 ​
ra1l [238]

Answer:

x > 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x + 6 < 6x - 8 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 2x + 6 < - 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2x < - 14

Divide both sides by - 2, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x > 7
