So, we can write it like this:

x+y=3
x*y=12
from the first we know that
x+y=3
y=3-x

so:

x*y=12 can be written as:
x*(x-3)=12

so x^2-3x=12

Actually this equation does not have a solution within the real numbers

but we can calculate:

x^2-3x-12=0

and if we use the quadratic formula, we will have:

(remember the quadratic formula is the following, where for us a=1,b=-3 and c=-12)

\frac{-b- \sqrt{b*b-4a*c} }{2a}
\frac{3- \sqrt{3*3-4*(-12)} }{2} = \frac{3- \sqrt{9+48} }{2} = \frac{3- \sqrt{57} }{2}


So this would be the solution, where the other number would be
3-\frac{3- \sqrt{57} }{2}= \frac{6}{2}-\frac{3- \sqrt{57} }{2}=\frac{3- \sqrt{57} }{2}

The other solution would be the following one;

x=\frac{3+\sqrt{57} }{2}, y=1\frac{1+\sqrt{57} }{2}

What is the largest flag jake can draw
alexgriva [62]
The ratio of length to width is 3/2.  Let's set up equations of ratios using first the 25 cm length of the paper and then the 20 cm width:

 3      25 cm
--- = ----------
 2           x

Solving for x, 3x = 50 cm, and x =16 2/3 cm.  This is possible, since 16 2/3 is less than the paper width 20 cm.

 3       20 cm
--- = -----------
 2         x

Solving for x:  3x = 40 cm; x = 40/3 cm, or  x= 13 1/3 cm.  This is possible, but does not make maximum use of the 20 by 30 cm paper.

Answer:  the largest flag Jake can draw on the paper given is 20 cm (length) by 16 2/3 cm.
