Xy = -150
x + y = 5

     x + y = 5
x - x + y = -x + 5
           y = -x + 5

                                                       xy = -150
                                             x(-x + 5) = -150
                                         x(-x) + x(5) = -150
                                               -x² + 5x = -150
                                     -x² + 5x + 150 = 0
                       -1(x²) - 1(-5x) - 1(-150) = 0
                                  -1(x² - 5x - 150) = 0
                                               -1            -1
                                        x² - 5x - 150 = 0
                                        x = -(-5) ± √((-5)² - 4(1)(-150))
                                                                2(1)
                                        x = 5 ± √(25 + 600)
                                                         2
                                        x = 5 ± √(625)
                                                     2
                                        x = 5 ± 25
                                                 2
                                        x = 2.5 ± 12.5
                                        x = 2.5 + 12.5    or    x = 2.5 - 12.5
                                        x = 15          or          x = -10

    x + y = 5
  15 + y = 5
- 15      - 15
          y = -10
    (x, y) = (15, -10)

            or

    x + y = 5
 -10 + y = 5
+ 10    + 10
           y = 15
    (x, y) = (-10, 15)

The two numbers that add up to 5 and multiply to -150 are 15 and -10.

Can anybody explain how to subtract mixed fractions?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

  • <em>convert </em>the mixed fractions to improper fractions (where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator): multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator, add that to the numerator, write the result on top of the denominator.
  • if the denominators are not the same, work out the common denominator and <em>rewrite </em>the fractions with the same denominators
  • subtract by subtracting the numerators and writing the result over the denominator
  • convert back to mixed fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator, write down the whole number answer, write down the remainder above the denominator.

Example

3\frac23-1\frac45

convert to improper fractions:

\dfrac{3 \times 3+2}{3}-\dfrac{1 \times 5+4}{5}=\dfrac{11}{3}-\dfrac{9}{5}

common denominator = 3 × 5 = 15, so:

\dfrac{11}{3}-\dfrac{9}{5}=\dfrac{11\times 5}{3\times 5}-\dfrac{9\times 3}{5\times 3}=\dfrac{55}{15}-\dfrac{27}{15}

subtract:

\dfrac{55}{15}-\dfrac{27}{15}=\dfrac{55-27}{15}=\dfrac{28}{15}

convert back to mixed fractions:

28 \div 15=1 \textsf{ remainder }13=1 \frac{13}{15}

What is the solution to the given inequality?
SashulF [63]

1/2 - 1/4x ≥ -1/4

Combine 1/4x to get x/4:

1/2 - x/4 ≥ -1/4

Subtract 1/2 from both sides:

-x/4 ≥ -1/4 - 1/2

Simplify:

-x/4 ≥ -3/4

Multiply both sides by 4:

-x ≥ -3/4 * 4

-x ≥ -3

Multiply each side by -1 ( and since you are multiplying by -1, you also need to reverse the inequality sign)

Answer: x ≤ 3
