Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the factors of 56

56: 1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56.

Since the problem says, x-y=1, that just proves that the two numbers(x and y) needs to be consecutive. If you apply that thought to the factors of 56, you will discover that the only consecutive pairs of factors are 7 and 8.

Next, you have to check.

8-7=1.

8 times 7 = 56

So, 8+7 should be 15. That is your answer :)

Answer:

x + y = ±15

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out systems of equations

x - y = 1

xy = 56

Step 2: Rearrange 1st equation

x = y + 1

Step 3: Substitution

(y + 1)y = 56

Step 4: Distribute

y² + y = 56

Step 5: Solve for <em>y</em>

y² + y - 56 = 0

(y - 7)(y + 8) = 0

y = -8, 7

Step 6: Plug in <em>y </em>to find <em>x</em>

x - 7 = 1

x = 8

x - (-8) = 1

x + 8 = 1

x = -7

Step 7: Find answer

x + y = ?

8 + 7 = 15

-7 + -8 = -15

So both 15 and -15 could be the answer.

Help!! Find the value of x.
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 75 + x + 125 = 180

2x + 200 = 180

2x = -20

x = -10

(In this problem a negative number is okay because the end value will be a whole number still.)

Triangle ABC with vertices A (-1, 4), B( -4, 1), and C(-1, 1) is reflected across the y-axis and then translated 4 units to the
Anna71 [15]

Given:

Triangle ABC with vertices A (-1, 4), B( -4, 1), and C(-1, 1) is reflected across the y-axis and then translated 4 units to the left to form triangle A’B’C’.

To find:

The coordinates of the vertices of triangle A’B’C’.

Solution:

If triangle ABC reflected across y-axis, then

(x,y)\to (-x,y)

A(-1,4)\to A_1(1,4)

B(-4,1)\to B_1(4,1)

C(-1,1)\to C_1(1,1)

Coordinates of image after reflection across y-axis are A_1(1,4),B_1(4,1),C_1(1,1).

Then triangle translated 4 units to the left to form triangle A’B’C’.

(x,y)\to (x-4,y)

A_1(1,4)\to A'(-3,4)

B_1(4,1)\to B'(0,1)

C_1(1,1)\to C'(-3,1)

Therefore, the vertices of triangle A’B’C’ are A’ (-3, 4), B’ (0, 1), C’ (-3, 1).

Hence, the correct option is B.
