Travka [436]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the two integers with the variables x and y.

From the problem statement, we can create the following two equations:

x + y = -7

xy = 12

With the first equation, we can subtract y from both sides to isolate the x variable to the left-hand side:

x = -7 - y

Now that we have a value for x, we can plug it into the second equation and solve for y:

(-7 - y)y = 12

-7y - y^{2} = 12

Now, let's move everything to one side of the equation:

y^{2} + 7y + 12 = 0

Factoring this quadratic will give us two values for y:

(y + 4)(y + 3) = 0

y = -3, -4

Since we now know y = -3, -4, we can plug this back into either of the original equations to get a value for x, which will be x = -4, -3.

So the two numbers that sum to -7 and have a product of 12 are -3, -4.

Answer: -3 and -4

Step-by-step explanation: you can use a system of equations.

x+y=-7

xy=12

Solve for x

x=-7-y

Replace x in the other equation and solve for y

(-7-y)y=12

y^2+7y+12=0

(y+3)(y+4)=0

y+3=0 y+4=0

y=-3 y=-4

Hi, I need help.

Answer:

B, 24 (second answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

4r+7s=23

r-2s=17

8r+14s=46

7r-14s=119

15r=165

r=11

11-2s=17..........by putting value of r in ii

-2s=17-11

2s= -6

s= -3

3r+3s=3*11+3(-3) you get this by putting values of r and s

       =33-9

       =24    (B)

How long does it take an SR-71 Blackbird to make a surveillance run of 10,026 miles if it travels at an average of 2,228 mph
g100num [7]
This is simple division:
t = \frac{10026}{2228}

So, plug it into your calculator and you get:
t = 4.5

Your answer's that it takes 4.5 hrs for the surveillance run.

You and your friend are selling your old CDs. Your friend sells 14 the first day, and x the next day. You sell y the first day a
Deffense [45]

Answer: 30+x+y

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Commutative Property of Addition : a+b= b+a , where a and b are any arbitrary numbers.

Given : Number of CDs sold by friend on first day = 14

Number of CDs sold by friend on next day = x

Total CDs sold by friend  = 14 +x

Number of CDs sold by you on first day = 16

Number of CDs sold by you on next day = y

Total CDs sold by you  = 16+y

The expression that shows the total number of CDs sold both days =

Total CDs sold by friend  + Total CDs sold by you

=  14 +x+ 16+y

= 14 +(x+ 16)+y

= 14 +(16+x)+y   [By Commutative Property of Addition.]

= 14+16+x+y

= 30+x+y

Hence, the expression that shows the total number of CDs sold both days :

30+x+y
