A positive integer is 5 more than 23 times another. Their product is 6732. Find the two integers.

Another way to write this is:
x = 23y + 5
xy = 6732

Now plug in the first equation into the second:
(23y + 5)y = 6732
23y^2 + 5y - 6732 = 0

Either use quadratic equation or factor:
(y - 17)(23y + 396) = 0
y = 17 or -396/23

You know you can automatically eliminate the second y because it's negative and you need the two integers to multiply to a positive number (6732).

Plug y = 17 back into either equation (second might be easier):
17x = 6732
x = 396

tangare [24]

40 = x - 20

move -20 to the other side

sign changes from -20 to +20

40+20= x-20+20

40+20=x

60=x

Stuck on this question. May I please have some help?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

So a point is (-3,-5) and the vertex is (-4,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is in vertex form. Vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex.

The vertex here is (-4,-3)... now just use a value of x to plug in (any value besides -4)

I will choice -3.  This gives -2(-3+4)^2-3

f(-3)=-2(1)^2-3

f(-3)=-2-3

f(-3)=-5

So a point is (-3,-5) and the vertex is (-4,-3)

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1,2) and (4,3)
Bad White [126]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (3-2)/(4 - -1)

   (3-2)/(4+1)

    1/5

Explain how to use basic facts and number patterns to find 5,600 divide by 7
Charra [1.4K]
5600 can be simplified. Say you were to just take the two zeros off the end and you would have 56. Now divide 56 by 7 and you get 8. Add the zeros back to the 8 and your answer is 7 x 800. Hope this helps.
