first number: x

second number: y

Sum: x + y = -9   ⇒   y = -x - 9

Product: xy = 20  ⇒ x(-x - 9) = 20

                                 -x² - 9x = 20

                                          0 = x² + 9x + 20

                                           0 = (x + 4)(x + 5)

                           0 = x + 4      or     0 = x + 5

                           x = -4           or      x = -5

y = -x - 9  ⇒  y = -(-4) - 9 = -5    or    y = -(-5) - 9 = -4

Answer: -4, -5

Juvi is baking oatmeal raisin cookies and fudge brownies! To make 4 batches of brownies, Juvi needs 2/3 of a cup of sugar. She a
dsp73

We can add the fractions together to compare with how much sugar she needs.

\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5}{10}+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{9}{10}

So Juvi has \frac{9}{10} cups of sugar.

She needs \frac{2}{3} cups, so let's make the denominators the same and compare.

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{20}{30}

\frac{9}{10}=\frac{27}{30}

Since \frac{27}{30} > \frac{20}{30}, she has enough sugar to make 4 batches of brownies.

Hope this helps.

頑張って!

Please help!!!! The height of a triangle is 9m less than its base. The area of the triangle is 56m^2. Find the length of the bas
Crazy boy [7]
Area = 1/2 b * h
h = b - 9
b = b
Area = 56cm^2

Area = 1/2 (b - 9) * b
56 = 1/2 (b^2 -9b)
112 = b^2 - 9b 
b^2 - 9b - 112 = 0
b = 16 and therefore the height is
h =  26 - 9 = 7

Check 
Area = 1/2 * 16 * 7
Area = 8 *7
Area = 56 which checks.
