x = number of packages he bought
y = number of popsicles in each package
Here are the two equations:
xy = 54
x = 3 + y
Using the substitution method, you can solve them to find x and y.
(3 + y)y = 54,
3y + y^2 = 54
y^2 + 3y - 54 = 0
Solve the quadriatic equation:
(y +9)(y - 6) = 0
y = -9, 6.
Plug y into: xy = 54
x(-9) = 54, x = -6.
x(6) = 54, x = 9.
So he bought 9 packages of popsicles, bc you can't bye -6 packages.
48 is the greatest common factor
I would say that statistics is a mathematical subject that allows you to explain scientific data. In a similar fashion, you could use mathematics to explain the various idea in physics as you can use statistics to interpret the results of experiments and the data collected.
Hope that helped!
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 26
y = x + 3
Plug in the equation for y
3x + 2(x + 3) = 26
Multiply the 2 with what is in the parantheses
3x + 2x + 6 = 26
Combine like terms and solve for x
5x + 6 = 26
5x = 20
x = 4
A= 360
B= 2(12)²(7)/120= 2016/120=16.8
