Answer:

Here are my hints. You can solve it yourself

1/ xy = -12 --> x = -12/y

2/ (-12/y) + y = -1 --> -(12/y) + (y²/y) = -1 --> -12 + y² = -y --> y²+y-12=0

3/ From y²+y-12=0 we can find y then use y to find x and then do your

(x+3) * (y+3)

Last year, the average monthly revenue at the Yardley Times newspaper was $93,250. So far

algol [13]

Answer:

$85,790

Take 8% of 93,250

93,250×0.08=7,460

Subtract 7,460 from 93,250

93,250-7,460=85,790

Is this wrong?

sammy [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The last step is a little wrong. Lemme show you:

x(x + 2) + (x + 2)

Imagine there is an invisible '1' infront of (x + 2) like this:

= x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2)

Now we can combine the like terms together:

= (x + 1)(x + 2)

This is the correct factorization.

The international cricket team is going to stadium to play the T20 cricket game. A coordinate grid is superimposed on a highway

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The coordinate of the rest stop is: $(5,2.5)$

The distance between the hotel and the stadium is 32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,4)$ --- Team hotel

$(x_2,y_2) = (7,1)$ --- Stadium

Solving (a): The coordinates of the rest stop

The rest stop is at half way;

So, the coordinate is:

$(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2)$

This gives:

$(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(3+7,4+1)$

$(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(10,5)$

Open bracket

$(x,y) = (5,2.5)$

Solving (b): Distance between the hotel and the stadium

We have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,4)$ --- Team hotel

$(x_2,y_2) = (7,1)$ --- Stadium

The distance (d) is:

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}$

So, we have:

$d = \sqrt{(3 - 7)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + 3^2}$

$d = \sqrt{16 + 9}$

$d = \sqrt{25}$

$d =5$

From the question, we have:

$1\ unit = 6.4\ miles$

So:

$d =5 * 6.4\ miles$

$d =32\ miles$

Someone help please i don’t want to fail math

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Image below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Plotting $\underline{y=2x+3}$

Step 1: determine the y-intercept

$(0,3)$

plot the point as the first point on the graph

Step 2: Move 2 units up, and 1 unit left (keep repeating this process until you have reached the limit of the graph)

Step 3: Go to the other side of the graph of the first point (y-intercept)

move 2 units down, and 1 unit right keep repeating this process until you have reached the limit of the graph)

When you've completed this process, it should look like this:
