The sum of two integers is 9 and the sum of their squares is 53. Find the integers.

1 answer:

6 0

X + y = 9 Subtract x from both sides.
y = 9 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 53
x^2 + (9 - x)^2 = 53 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 81 - 18x + x^2 = 53 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 - 18x + 81 = 53 Subtract 53 from both sides.
2x^2 - 18x + 81 - 53 = 0
2x^2 - 18x + 28 = 0 This factors, but you can see it much easier if you pull out 2 as a common factor.
2(x^2 - 9x + 14) = 0
2(x - 2)(x - 7) =0 You could divide by 2 on both sides. But you can also leave it.
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
If x = 2 then y = 7
If x = 7 then y = 2

How do you evaluate 3ab

dimaraw [331]

Lets say a=2 and b=5 you now plug in you numbers to get 3x2x5 we know 3x2=6 so now take 6 and multiply it by 5 so 6x5=30 you can also set this equal to 0 3ab=0 then divide by either a or b ill show you both if you divide by a you are left with 3b=a if you divide by b than you get 3a=b

<h3>hello!</h3>

In order to solve this inequality, we should divide both sides by 9:-

$\sf{9x < 72}$
