 let the numbers  x and y

sum of two numbers is x + y = 15     eq 1

given  {  one number is 3 less than so  :  y = x-3}


put in equation

x  + x -3  = 15

2x - 3 = 15

2x =  18

x = 9

y =  ( x-3 ) = ( 9 -3)  = 6

Did I put the decimal in the right place

Yes you did, you count up all the decimal spaces in all (which is 4 in this case) and put that amount of decimal spaces in the product.

Solve: The diagonals of a parallelogram are as follows:
pochemuha

Answer:

x = 3, y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that O is the point of intersection of the diagonals. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other so here we have AO = OC and DO = OB.

Therefore 5y + 1 = 6y - 1

1 + 1 = 5y - 5y

2 = y.

2(x + 1) = 3x - 1

2x + 2 = 3x - 1

2 + 1 = 3x - 2x

3 = x.

Find all complex solutions of X^2-5X -5= 0
denis-greek [22]

ANSWER

x  =  \frac{ 5  -  3\sqrt{ 5} }{2}  \: or \: x  =  \frac{ 5 +3 \sqrt{ 5} }{2}

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

{x}^{2}  - 5x - 5 = 0

The solution is given by the formula

x  =  \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

where a=1, b=-5, c=-5

We substitute into the formula to get;

x  =  \frac{ -  - 5 \pm \sqrt{ {( - 5)}^{2}  - 4(1)( - 5)} }{2(1)}

We simplify to get,

x  =  \frac{ 5 \pm \sqrt{ 45} }{2}

The solutions are:

x  =  \frac{ 5  -  3\sqrt{ 5} }{2}  \: or \: x  =  \frac{ 5 +3 \sqrt{ 5} }{2}

The equation has no complex roots.
