Answer: x = 7 or x = -8
x² + x - 56 = 0
⇔ x² + 8x - 7x - 56 = 0
⇔ x(x + 8) - 7(x + 8) = 0
⇔ (x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
⇔ x - 7 = 0
or x + 8 = 0
⇔ x = 7 or x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!!
Let's take the number as x and y
Given,
The sum of x and y = 12
One number is 2 more than the other
Let's take y = x + 2
Equations
x + y = 12
As we know y = x + 2 , plug the value in
x + x + 2 = 12
2x + 2 = 12
Subtract 2 on both sides
2x = 10
Divide by 5 on both sides
x = 5
y = 2 + x
y = 7
The numbers are 5 and 7
Hope my answer helps!
Using elimination method. Using substitution will cause some fraction problems.
c- child tickets
a- adult tickets
4a + 7c = $83
5a + 6c = $90
multiply by -5
-20a - 35c = -$415
20a + 24c = $360
-11c= -$55
c = $5 child tickets
4a + 7(5)= $83
4a + 35 = $83
4a = $48
a= $12 adult tickets
Average rate = distance / time
distance = average rate x time
Range of distance = 2.2(1) to 2.2(3) = 2.2 to 6.6
Required range is all real numbers from 2.2 to 6.6, inclusive.
