What numbers multiply to -30 and add to -3

Mathematics

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?

Z=Xm+n-p,solve for x
timama [110]

z=xm+n-p

We need to isolate x to one side I will do that on the left side so it looks cleaner, therefore I will first flip the equation.

xm+n-p=z

Now move the n and p to the right side

xm=z-n+p

x=(z-n+p)/m

Hope this helped, if you have any questions about this just comment and I will come answer.
