No -5 is not a solution. The correct answer would be 5.

Lee is thinking of two Numbers,the product is 18. the quotient is 2

defon

X, y - the numbers

The product is 18.
$xy=18$

The quotient is 2.
$\frac{x}{y}=2 \ \ \ |\times y \\
x=2y$

Substitute 2y for x in the 1st equation:
$2y \times y=18 \\
2y^2=18 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
y^2=9 \\
y=\pm \sqrt{9} \\
y=3 \ \lor \ y=-3 \\ \\
x=2y \\
x=2 \times 3 \ \lor \ x=2 \times (-3) \\
x=6 \ \lor \ x=-6 \\ \\
(x,y)=(6,3) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(-6,-3)$

The numbers are 6 and 3 or -6 and -3.

Shaila bought 30 t-shirts at a clothing store. 20% of the t-shirts were blue and ½ of the shirts were black. How many of the t-s

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

9 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of the shirts were blue

20% of 30 is 6

6 shirts were blue

1/2 of the shirts were black

1/2 = 50%

50% of 30 is 15

15 shirts are black

15 + 6 = 21

30 - 21 = 9

(or you could add the percentages to get 70%, and get 30%. 30% of 30 is 9.)

Hope this helps!
