To find the solutions to the system, we need to find exactly when one expression is equal to the other. We can do this by setting both of the right sides equal to each other, so that


(x-5)(x+6)=x+6


Subtracting x+6 from either side, we find


(x-5)(x+6)-(x+6)=0


factoring out an x+6:


(x+6)(x-5-1)=(x+6)(x-6)=0


x=\pm6


The x-coordinates of our solutions will therefore be 6 and -6. Since the question only asks for the <em>x-coordinate</em> of the midpoint, we simply need to find the number exactly halfway between 6 and -6, which is 0.

\bf \begin{cases}y=(x-5)(x+6)\\y=x+6\end{cases}\qquad \stackrel{y}{(x-5)(x+6)}=\stackrel{y}{x+6}\\\\\\\stackrel{FOIL}{x^2+x-30}=x+6\implies x^2-36=0\implies x^2=36\\\\\\x=\pm\sqrt{36}\implies \boxed{x=\pm 6}\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{substituting that \underline{x} in the second equation}}{y=\pm 6 + 6}\implies y=\begin{cases}12\\0\end{cases}\\\\\\\stackrel{solutions}{(6,12)\qquad \qquad (-6,0)}


now, let's find the midpoint of those two solutions


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{12})\qquad  (\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 +  x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 +  y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{-6+6}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{0+12}{2}  \right)\implies (\stackrel{x}{0}~,~6)

The printer can print 168 papers in 21 minutes. Enter the number of paper the printer can print in 10 minutes.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

80 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

168 papers          x papers

------------------ = -----------------

21 minutes          10 minutes

168*10 = x * 21

1680 = 21x

Divide each side by 21

1680/21 = 21x/21

80 = x
