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

Please help me with this
Ronch [10]
Think of it as two rectangular prisms next to each other, and find the volume of each one separately.

The big one on the left has a volume of 4 * 12 * 6, or 288.

The smaller one on the right has a volume of 2 * 6 * 6, or 72.

288 + 72 = 360. 360 cubic feet of water are needed.

Answer:

Base

Step-by-step explanation:

A power is the product of multiplying a number by itself. Usually, a power is represented with a base number and an exponent. The base number tells what number is being multiplied. The exponent, a small number written above and to the right of the base number, tells how many times the base number is being multiplied.

What is the area of a rectangle with length 8 1/2 and width 6 inches
likoan [24]
A = 1/2 (l × w)
A = 1/2 (8 1/2 × 6)
A = 1/2 (17/2 ×12/2)
A = 1/2 (204/4)
A = 1/2 (51)
A = 25 1/2  OR  25.5 in
