Answer:

x=28     x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=42

2y=x

My method of doing this is a little unorthodox so this is probably going to make no sense... but here goes...

42/2=21

21*(2/3)=14

14*2=28

Write two equations with the given information:

1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)

2) x + y = 42

Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:

2y + y = 42

Simplify:

3y = 42

Divide both sides by 3:

y = 42 / 3

y = 14

Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:

x = 2y

x = 2(14)

x = 28

X = 28 and y = 14

What is the product of the 2 solutions of the equation x^2+3x-21=0
Advocard [28]
X²+3x-21=0

1) we solve this square equation:
x=[-3⁺₋√(9+84)] / 2=(-3⁺₋√93)/2
We have two solutions:
x₁=(-3-√93)/2
x₂=(-3+√93)/2

2) we compute the product of the 2 solutions found.
[(-3-√93)/2][(-3+√93)/2] =(-3-√93)(-3+√93) / 4=
=(9-93)/4=-84/4=-21

Answer: the product of the 2 solutions of this equation is -21

How do you convert how do you convert centimeters to inches
balu736 [363]

In order to convert centimeters to inches, you use the following equation:

1 inches = 2.54 cm

If you have to convert, for example, 4 inches, you proceed as follow:

4 inches* (2.54cm/1 inches) = 10.16 cm

That is, you multiply the quantity that you want to convert, by the quotient between 2.54cm and 1 inches.

Which function is the inverse of f (x) = 2x + 8?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

f-1(x) = (x-8)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x+ 8

y = 2x + 8

replacing y and x

x = 2y + 8

2y = x- 8

y =( x-8)/2

f-1 (x) =( x-8)/2
