Hello there!
The sum of two numbers (x + y) is 8 (=8).
Their product (x * y) is 15 (=15).
x + y = 8
x * y = 15
First, we know that the two number must be positive and under 8, as the product is positive.
Let's list out some numbers that are from 1 to 8 that sum up to 8;
1 + 7
2 + 6
3 + 5
4 + 4
Now, we need to multiply the two numbers that add up to 8, and see which makes a product of 15.
1 * 7 = 7, this does not work.
2 * 6 = 12, this does not work.
3 * 5 = 15, this works!
4 * 4 = 16, this does not work.
Since we are looking for the larger number in our pairs, let's pick the largest one out of the correct pair, which is 5.
The largest number is 5.
I hope this helps!
15minutes / 2miles = 7.5 minutes to run a single mile.
7.5minutes * 5miles = 37.5minutes
37.5minutes to run 5 miles
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Recursive formula
a1 = -17
a^n = a^n-1 + 5
Explicit formula:
a^n = -17 + (n-1) * 5
The independent variable is the variable that is being changed. In this statement, it would be water flowing flowing in the pool. The dependent variable is what is being changed so that would be the depth of the water.
There, I hope this helps! :)
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
To add integers with different signs, keep the sign of the number with the largest absolute value and subtract the smallest absolute value from the largest. Subtract an integer by adding its opposite.
