Give the 2 numbers variables,say x and y.
then they multiply to -225.this means xy=-225
they add to 16.this means x+y=16
y=16-x
substitute y=16-x onto xy=-225 to get x(16-x)=-225
then expand to get 16x-x^2=-225
rearrange to get a quadratic: x^2-16x-225=0
x=(16+(16^2-4*-225)^0.5))/2 or
x=(16-(16^2-4*-225)^0.5))/2
Answer:
a = -2
Simplifying 5 + -2(4a + 1) + 3a = 13 Reorder the terms: 5 + -2(1 + 4a) + 3a = 13 5 + (1 * -2 + 4a * -2) + 3a = 13 5 + (-2 + -8a) + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: 5 + -2 = 3 3 + -8a + 3a = 13 Combine like terms: -8a + 3a = -5a 3 + -5a = 13 Solving 3 + -5a = 13 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -5a = 13 + -3 -5a = 13 + -3 Combine like terms: 13 + -3 = 10 -5a = 10 Divide each side by '-5'. a = -2
Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation: Rise/Run, pick two points and use the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
This would be the same as the square root of 16. So the answer is 4!
