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

This month, Chun’s office produced 690 pounds of garbage. Chun wants to reduce the weight of garbage produced to 85% of the weig
Effectus [21]
Chun wants to <span>reduce the weight of garbage produced to 85% of the weight produced this month. 
This means that, Chun's garbage weight next month should be equal to 85% of his garbage weight this month.

Translating this into an equation, we will find that:
garbage weight next month = 85% of garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85 * garbage weight this month
garbage weight next month = 0.85*690 
garbage weight next month = 586.5 pounds

Based on the above calculations, his target weight for the garbage next month is </span>586.5 pounds
