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}

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

to clear a square root on the denominator

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the square root, for example

\frac{5}{\sqrt{3} }

= \frac{5}{\sqrt{3} } × \frac{\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{5\sqrt{3} }{3}

Someone pls help I'm confused​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

4x + 8x = 180

12x = 180

divide by 12 on both sides:

X = 15

4 x 15 = 60 degrees

8 x 15 = 120 degrees
