Which two numbers have a sum of 15 and a product of 36

Mathematics

Answer:  3  and  12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent one of the numbers and y represent the other number. Then,

Sum:      x + y = 15      →    y = 15 - x

Product: xy  = 36


Use substitution method by replacing "y" with "15 - x" in the second equation, then solve for x:

x(15 - x) = 36

15x - x² = 36

       0  =  x² - 15x + 36

       0  =  (x - 3)(x - 12)

 0 = x - 3     and       0 = x - 12

 x  = 3                       x = 12

17x+11y=17 rewrite in slope intercept form
liq [111]

Answer:

y=-\frac{17}{11}x+\frac{17}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation into y=mx+b form by rearranging terms using inverse operations.

17x + 11y = 17             Subtract 17x from both sides.

-17x               -17x

---------------------------

        11y = 17 - 17x      Divide by 11 on both sides.

          y = 17/11 - 17/11 x

The slope intercept form is y=-\frac{17}{11}x+\frac{17}{11}.

A cookie factory uses 1 1/5 bags of flour in each batch of cookies. the factory used 7 1/5 bags of flour yesterday. how many bat
shtirl [24]

Hello!

To find how much batches of cookies the factory made, we need to divide the total number of bags of flour used by how many bags of flour are needed for one batch of cookies.

Before dividing, we need to convert the complex fraction into an improper fraction.

1 1/5 → 5 × 1 + 1 = 6/5

7 1/5 → 5 × 7 + 1 = 36/5

For every batch of cookies, the factory uses 6/5 bags of flour. Yesterday, the factory used 36/5 bags of flour.

Remember when dividing by a fraction, it is like multiplying its reciprocal. This means that the second fraction is flipped, then which it can be multiplied together.

\frac{36}{5} / \frac{6}{5} → \frac{36}{5} * \frac{5}{6} = \frac{180}{30} = 6

Therefore, the cookie factory made 6 batches of cookies yesterday.
