The answer is D I think, cause sum means plus and product means times
Answer:
(5, 3 ) and (-
, - 10 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - y = 7 → (1)
xy = 15 → (2)
Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x , that is
y = 2x - 7 → (3)
Substitute y = 2x - 7 into (2)
x(2x - 7) = 15
2x² - 7x = 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
2x² - 7x - 15 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 5)(2x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - 
Substitute these values into (3) for corresponding values of y
x = 5 : y = 2(5) - 7 = 10 - 7 = 3 ⇒ (5, 3 )
x = -
: y = 2(-
) - 7 = - 3 - 7 = - 10 ⇒ (-
, - 10 )
I think the answer is B) i’m not 100%
Answer:
You will have 128 orange marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as an equation
Variable x = number of orange marbles
3/8 = 48/x
Cross multiply
3 × x = 8 × 48
3x = 384
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable
3x ÷ 3 = 384 ÷ 3
1x = 128
x = 128
128 orange marbles
Check work:
Substitute the variable x for the answer
3/8 = 48/128
Cross multiply
3 × 128 = 8 × 48
384 = 384
If the numbers equal, the answer is correct
