Let the numbers be x and y. Then xy = -30 and x+y = -3.
Solve xy = -30 for y: y = -30/x
subst. -30/x for y in x+y= -3: x - 30/x = -3
Multiply all 3 terms by x: x^2 - 30 = -3x, so x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Solve this quadratic equation for x. x: {-5, 2}
If x = -5, then x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.
You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct. If it is, what is the corresponding y value?
Answer:
The answer is b. 4*3 2/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
It states 4 times the amount Ruby mixed. Ruby mixed it 3 2/5 solution. So you would right out 4 x 3 2/5.
AP and BQ are medians of the triangle ABC and K is the centroid of the triangle.
One of the properties of the medians is that the point of intersection divides the median in the ratio 2:1
So BK = 2 KQ therefore
15 = 2 * KQ
and KQ = 7.5 answer
Answer:
True, all integers are rational numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because each integer can be written as n/1 and integers can be positive and negative. For example, 3= 3/1 , 3 is the rational number. But all rational numbers like 1/2 =0.5 are not an integer. (fractions, decimals are not integers.)
Answer:
The expression –3 + 2x is equivalent to 2x – 3. I know it is equivalent because for every value of x that is substituted in, the two expressions simplify to the same value. I took the expression and used the commutative property to not change the value.
