A) x + y = 17
B) x * y = -168

y = -168/x then inputting this into A)

x + -168/x = 17
x^2 -168 -17x = 0

x = 24 and x = -7

What is the solution to : 3(1/2 m - 3) =45
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

m=36

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve for this equation by isolating m on one side. To do this, we can "reverse" the equation.

3(\frac{1}{2}m - 3) = 45

Let's divide both sides by 3.

3(\frac{1}{2}m-3)\div3 = 45\div3\\\\\frac{1}{2}m - 3 = 15

Add 3 to both sides:

\frac{1}{2}m - 3 + 3 = 15 + 3\\\\\frac{1}{2}m = 18

Multiply both sides by two (since \frac{1}{2}\cdot2=1)

\frac{1}{2}m \cdot 2 = 18 \cdot 2\\\\m = 36

Hope this helped!

At a given time and place, the height of an object varies directly as the length of its shadow. If a flagpole 6 meters high cast
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Height of the building that cast a shadow of 45 meters is 27 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a direct variation and let height of the object represent H and shadow represent S

Hence H∝S

H = KS, where K=constant of proportionality

K = H/S

K = 6/10 = 0.6

Hence height of a building that cast a shadow of 45 meters

H = KS

H = 0.6 × 45 = 27 meters

A fish tank holds 832 gallons but is leaking at a rate of 5 gallons per week. A second fish tank hose 1040 gallons but is leakin
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Within 52 weeks, the amount of water in the two fish tanks will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's make the two equations equal to each other by placing an equal sign.

832 - 5x = 1040 - 9x

Now, that they are equal to each other, we can solve for x.

Okay, so we can move -5x to the other side by adding both sides with 5x.

832 = 1040 - 4x

Then, subtract 1040 from both sides to move it to the other side.

832 - 1040 = -208

-208 = -4x

Lastly, divide both sides by -4 to get the value of x.

-208/-4 = 52

x = 52
