Answer:
The short answer is there isn’t.
Start by writing each of these as an expression:
x * y = 60
x + y = 7
Next, solve each for the same variable; in this case, y:
(x * y) / x = 60 / x
.: y = 60 / x
(x + y) - x = 7 - x
.: y = 7 - x
Next, replace y of the second expression to the first
y = 60 / x & y = 7 - x
.: 7 - x = 60 / x
Now, solve for x:
(7 - x) * x = (60 / x) * x
.: x * 7 - x^2 = 60
This is quadratic, so write it in the form of ax2 + bx + x = 0
(-1)x^2 + (7)x + (-60) = 0
.: a = -1, b = 7, c = -60
Finally solve for b:
x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / 2a
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(7^2 - 4*-1*-60)) / (2 * -1)
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(49 - 240)) / -2
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(-191)) / -2
The square root of a negative value is imaginary and thus there’s no real answer to this problem.
Answer: Annie will have to make 228 cookies
explanation:
let y represent the total number cookies that Annie will make.
<h3>y= 342*(2/3)</h3><h3>y=228</h3><h3 /><h3 />
10x = 4(2x -9)
10x = 8x - 36
10x - 8x = -36 - 8x
2x = -36
2x ÷ 2 = -36 ÷ 2
x = -18
If you need a better explanation just as in the comments.
Happy to help! Please mark as BRAINLIEST! Thanks
I only did the first part but maybe later I will solve the rest too. If there are any errors but tell me so I can update the pic.
