Answer:

2 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Take integers to be X and Y

X*Y=12

X + Y = 8

from the second equation, X= 8-Y

put X in the first Equation

(8-Y)Y = 12

Expand the equation

-Y² + 8Y - 12 = 0

Factorize the above equation

(-Y + 2) (Y - 6) = 0

Y = 2 and Y = 6

choose any value of Y.

so Y = 6,

put Y in X + Y = 8

X + 6 = 8

X = 2

therefore the integers are 2 and 6

Solving two-step equations:

Answer:

Mia scored 6 baskets Last Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

Mia made score of baskets on Last Saturday = x

Mia made score of baskets yesterday = 3x (Mia made three times as many baskets in yesterday’s basketball game as she did last Saturday. three times means multiply 3 with score of Last Saturday baskets, i.e. x)

Total score of baskets = 24

We need to find How many baskets did Mia score last Saturday?

We can write:

Total Score = Score on Last Saturday + Score yesterday

$24=x+3x$

Solving this equation we can find value of x:

$24=x+3x\\24=4x\\=>4x=24\\x=\frac{24}{4}\\x=6$

So, we get value of x = 6

Mia made score of baskets on Last Saturday = x = 6

Mia scored 6 baskets Last Saturday.

What is the equation of a line with a slope of −4−4 and a point (−2,5)

Darya [45]

Here, we can formulate the slope-intercept equation from the point and the slope:

Slope = -4/-4 = 1
x1 = -2
y1 = 5

By point-slope form:

(y-y1) = m (x - x1)
(y-5) = 1(x +2)

y-5 = x +2

Simplifying to slope-intercept form:

y = x + 7

Therefore, the slope-intercept form would be y = x+7

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

What is the value of the expression 2^0/4^2

xz_007 [3.2K]

Anything to the zeroth power is equal to 1. (The numerator is equal to one because of this rule)

So.

$\frac{1}{4^2} = \frac{1}{16}$
