What multiples to 42 and adds to -2

Mathematics
1 answer:
solniwko [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 42

x+y = - 2                   Substitute into the top equation

y = -2 - x                   Put in for y

x(-2 - x) = 42             Remove the brackets

-2x - x^2 = 42           Subtract 42 from both sides.

-2x - x^2 - 42 = 0      Put in the more normal order.

-x^2 - 2x - 42 = 0      Multiply by -1

x^2 + 2x + 42 = 0

This cannot be factored. It gives complex roots as it is written. I will give you the answer but I kind of doubt the question is correct.

x1 = - 1 + 6.40i

x2 = -1 - 6.40i

Solve for e.<br> 0.75(8 + e) = 2 - 1.25e
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

e = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve for e in the following equation,

.75(8 + e) = 2 - 1.25e

We need to distribute and use the communicative property to find <em>e</em>.

6 + .75e = 2 - 1.25e

-2 to both sides

4 + .75e = -1.25e

-.75 to both sides

4 = -2e

-2 to both sides

e = -2

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>e is -2.</em>
