x = number of packages he bought

y = number of popsicles in each package

Here are the two equations:

xy = 54

x = 3 + y

Using the substitution method, you can solve them to find x and y.

(3 + y)y = 54,

3y + y^2 = 54

y^2 + 3y - 54 = 0

Solve the quadriatic equation:

(y +9)(y - 6) = 0

y = -9, 6.

Plug y into: xy = 54

x(-9) = 54, x = -6.

x(6) = 54, x = 9.

So he bought 9 packages of popsicles, bc you can't bye -6 packages.

Which are the roots of the quadratic function f(b) = 62 – 75? Select two options.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

$b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(b) = b^2 - 75$

Required

Determine the roots

To get the root of the function, then f(b) must be 0;

i.e. f(b) = 0

So, the expression becomes

$0 = b^2 - 75$

Add 75 to both sides

$75 + 0 = b^2 - 75 + 75$

$75 = b^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{b^2}$

$\sqrt{75} = b$

Reorder

$b = \sqrt{75}$

Expand 75 as a product of 25 and 3

$b = \sqrt{25*3}$

Split the expression

$b = \sqrt{25} *\sqrt{3}$

$b = \±5 *\sqrt{3}$

$b = \±5 \sqrt{3}$

$b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}$

The options are not clear enough; however the roots of the equation are $b = 5 \sqrt{3} \ or\ b = -5 \sqrt{3}$

What Is 5 1/2 - 2 5/6? Explain Your Answer

natulia [17]

Answer:

2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Make them into improper fractions first.

11/2 - 17-6

Then multiply 11/2 so that they have common denominators.

33/6 - 17/6

Then solve.

33/6 - 17/6 = 16/6

Then convert back into a mixed number.

2 4/6 or 2 2/3
