Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.

Let's first establish the two equations we will be using.

Let integer no. 1 = x

Let integer no. 2 = y

Equation No. 1 -

x + y = - 7

Equation No. 2 -

xy = - 18

To begin with, we will make ( x ) the subject in the first equation.

Equation No. 1 -

x + y = - 7

x = - 7 - y

Next we will substitute the value of ( x ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( y ).

Equation No. 2 -

xy = - 18

y ( - 7 - y ) = - 18

- 7y - y^2 = - 18

- y^2 - 7y + 18 = 0

- [ y^2 + 7y - 18 ] = 0

- [ y^2 + 9y - 2y - 18 ] = 0

- [ y ( y + 9 ) - 2 ( y + 9 ) ] = 0

- ( y + 9 ) ( y - 2 ) = 0


y + 9 = 0

y = - 9

OR

y - 2 = 0

y = 2

Then we will substitute the value of ( y ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( x ).

Equation No. 1 -

x = - 7 - y

x = - 7 - ( - 9 )

x = - 7 + 9

x = 2

OR

x = - 7 - y

x = - 7 - ( 2 )

x = - 9

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, the answer is:

x = 2

y = - 9

OR

x = - 9

y = 2

The two integers are 2 and - 9 or - 9 and 2.

2/3 of the list = 12

2/3x = 12
x = 12 / (2/3)
x = 12 * 3/2

What is the slope of this graph?
larisa [96]
Since the slope is falling, instead of rising, it would be negative. 

Now, on the line, I plotted (0, 2) and (-2, 10).

You would now plug this into the rise/run formula. 
The formula is \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

The equation would become, 
\frac{10 - 2}{-2 - 0} = \frac{8}{-2} = -4

I believe the answer would be -4. 

I hope this helps!

If the area of a circle is 20.4 units squared, what is the radius?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

r = 2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the radius of a circle using the area is r = √A/π

with the r being the radius. the A being the area, and the π being pi (we'll use 3.14).

So the equation should look like this:

r = √(20.4/3.14)

Find the quotient of 20.4/3.14 and round to the nearest tenth

r = √6.5

Find the square root and round to the nearest hundredth

r = 2.55

Kenji earned the test scores below in English class.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

mean=87

median=87

Step-by-step explanation:

mean=sum of test score/number of subject

mean=79+91+93+85+86+88/6

mean=522/6

mean=87

Literal meaning of median is medium.

To find the number which lies in the medium, we must rearrange the number in ascending.

79, 91, 93, 85, 86, 88

79, 85, 86, 88, 91, 93

86+88/2=87

Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤
