Step-by-step explanation:
I understand it! (But I'm a high school math teacher so it might be unfair!) ; )
Anyway you have 2 numbers. You don't know what they are so we will call them x and y. Our first statement says that these numbers multiply to equal 120. So that first equation is
xy = 120
Our second statement says that they add to -22. So that second equation is
x + y = -22
Now we need to find the 2 numbers. We have 2 unknowns, x and y. That means that we have to have 2 equations. No more than 2 no less than 2. Solve the first equation for y. It doesn't matter which equation you pick and which variable you choose to solve for. If you do the work correctly, you will get the correct answers either way. Solving the first equation for y gives you:
Now tht we have a value for y, we can use the substitution property of equality to sub that value into the second equation for y:
Instead of finding a common denominator, we are going to eliminate x in the denominator altogether. Do this by multiplying everything by x to get
Get everything on one side of the equals sign and factor:
Because 12 * 10 = 120 and 12 + 10 = 22, our factors are 12 and 10:
Use factoring by grouping now.
From the first set of parenthesis you can factor out an x, and from the second set you can factor out a 10:
x(x + 12) + 10(x + 12) = 0
Now factor out the common x + 12 to get a factored quadratic:
(x + 12)(x + 10) = 0
By the Zero Product Property, either x + 12 = 0 or x + 10 = 0. Solving both for x gives you x = -12 or x = -10.
If x = -12, then
-12 + y = -22 so
y = -10
If x = -10, then
-10 + y = -22 so
y = -12.
The combinations of x and y are:
If x = -12, y = 10
If x = -10, y = -12
It doesn't matter which one is which. They are not asking you to specifically define x and y. They are asking you to find the numbers, and you did!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Width of the sign made by Darius initially = 2 feet
Length of the sign = 2 feet 6 inches
Dimension of the flyer are 10 inches by 8 inches. Since, in original sign the measure of length is greater, therefore, the length of flyer is 10 inches and its width is 8 inches.
In order to find the scale factor we must convert the lengths and widths to same units. Lets convert the length and width of sign into inches.
Since, 1 feet = 12 inches
Length of the sign = 2 feet 6 inches = 2(12) + 6 inches = 30 inches
Width of the sign = 2 feet = 2(12) inches = 24 inches
Now we can find the scale factor by either comparing the lengths or widths of both the designs. Scale factor will be equal to the ratio of corresponding lengths/widths.
So, the scale factor would be:
Length of Flyer : Length of Sign
= 10 inches : 30 inches
= 1 : 3
=
This shows, the length of flyer is times as that of the sign. So, the scale factor that Darius must use is
. The length and width of the flyer are
as that of the sign.
The same scale factor would result if we would have used the ratio of widths instead of the lengths.
Scale Factor = Width of Flyer : Width of sign
= 8 : 24
= 1 : 3
Therefore, Darius must type the scale factor of in his computer to get the size of the flyer.
