What two numbers multiply by 25 but adds up to 6

No two <em>intergers</em> can solve this problem. If you're not in Algebra II yet, the answer is probably "none."

Just look at the factor pairs of 25:
1 × 25
-1 × 25
5 × 5
-5 × -5
Clearly none of those can add up to 6.

If you want the more complex answer, I'll show you how here. If you don't understand why it doesn't work, that's okay. I just want you to see that  there's not an actual answer to the problem.

a+b = 6
a = 6-b
ab = 25
(6-b)b = 25
6b -b² = 25
-b² + 6b = 25
b² -6b = -25
Factor by splitting the middle.
Half of -6 is -3, (-3)² = 9. Add this to each side.
b² -6b + 9 = -16
Factor the perfect square trinomial.
(b-3)² = -16
Take the square root of each side.
b-3 = 4i
b = 3+4i
a+b = 6
a+3+4i = 6
a= 3-4i
<em>(The "i" stands for an imaginary number, specifically, the square root of -1.)</em>

Y = 1/2x + 3 on a graph
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the question? If you want to know how to graph this equation, it's usually easiest to start with the intercepts, i.e., the points where the line crosses the axes.

y  = ½x + 3 tells you that the line crosses the y-axis at (0,3), so plot that point.

Then let y = 0 and solve for x.

0 = ½x + 3

x = 6

The line crosses the x-axis at (6,0), so plot that point as well.

Then draw the line passing through those two points.
