What two numbers multiply to -320 and add to 32

1 answer:

8 0

Let a and b be the numbers,then a+b=32,b=32-a
ab=-320
a(32-a)=-320
32a-a^2=-320
a^2-32a-320=0
a^2-40a+8a-320=0
a(a-40)+8(a-40)=0
(a-40)(a+8)=0
a=40 or-8
when a=40,b=32-40=-8
when a=-8,b=32-(-8)=32+8=40
so numbers are 40 and -8

Can you answer this for me plssss 0.5(r+2.75)=3

lora16 [44]

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 ( r + 2.75 ) = 3

r + 2.75 = 3 / 0.5

r + 2.75 = 6

r = 6 - 2.75

r = 3.25

Evaluate the expression 3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6

solong [7]

Answer:

3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 is the given expression.

Now, by the rule of BODMAS, where B = Bracket, O= of, D = divide,

M = multiplication, A = addition and S = subtraction

we try and solve the following expression in the same order.

Solving the bracket first, we get

3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 3(11)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 66 − 24 ÷ 6

Next, we solve divide,

66 − 24 ÷ 6 = 66 - 4

Next, solving the subtraction, 66 - 4 = 62

Hence, 3(7 + 4)2 − 24 ÷ 6 = 62

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$y=-6x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0)

1) Determine the slope (m)

$m=\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that fall on the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Given the graph, we determine which points we could use. For example, we could use the two points $(0,2)$ and $(1,-4)$ :

$m=\displaystyle \frac{-4-2}{1-0}\\\\m=\displaystyle \frac{-6}{1}\\\\m=-6$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -6. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-6x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

Recall that the y-intercept occurs when x=0. Given the point (0,2), we know that the y-intercept is 2. Plug this into $y=-6x+b$ :

$y=-6x+2$

I hope this helps!
