X+y=21
xy=110

x+y=21
subtract x form both sides
y=21-x
subsitute
x(21-x)=110
21x-x^2=110
add x^2-21x to both sides
0=x^2-21x+110
use quaratic formula which is
(-b+/-√(b^2-4ac)/(2a)=x
when you have it in the format of ax^2+bx+c=0 so

a=1
b=-21
c=110

input
two equations
(-(-21)+√(-21^2-4 times 1 times 110))/(2) or (-(-21)+√(-21^2-4 times 1 times 110))/2

the answer is
10 or 11

that is the answer

the ages are 10 and 11

Algebra!!!<br> 3 Questions Only take if you know ALL Answers<br> PLZZZ QUICK
vitfil [10]

Answer:

1. -7.5

2. $1

3. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

For number 1, it can be solved by using the PEMDAS method, or see explanation below:

6x - 4x - 36 = 6 - 2x

2x - 36= -2x + 6

4x + 36 = 6

4x = -30

x = -15/2 or -7.5

For number 2, substitute 3 into both equations:

f(x) =1.50(3) + 2.00

and

f(x) = 2.00(3) + 1.50

This would get $6.50 and $7.50, which, if subtracted, gets $1.

For number 3, do something similar to the previous problem. Substitute 3 for x. It would be 5(2^3), or 40.

Hope this helps!

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

\sqrt{549} ≈ 23.4

Step-by-step explanation:

A = bh

270 = 15b

b = 18

Now you know the two legs, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of the hypotenuse:  a² + b² = c²

15² + 18² = c²

225 + 324 = c²

c² = 549

c = √549
