Factor 4
4=1 times 4
2 times 2
they don't add to 2
set up equation
x+y=2
xy=4
first equation, subtract x from both sides
y=2-x
subsitute for y
x(2-x)=4
distribute
2x-x^2=4
add x^2
2x=x^2+4
subtract 2x
0=x^2-2x+4
use quadratic formula which is
if you have ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=

so
1x^2-2x+4=0
a=1
b=-2
c=4
x=

x=

x=

we have

and that doesn't give a real solution
therefor there are no real solutions
but if you want to solve fully
x=

i=

x=

x=

x=

or x=

(those are the 2 numbers)
Answer:
ONE-THIRD OF A GALLON DIVIDED BY 3 GALLONS EQUALS ONE-NINTH
Step-by-step explanation:=1/9
8/20as well,since the number of green beads and yellow beads is the same,so equal probability
Let x be the number of CDs we buy and y the number of CDs we sell.
Each CD sell for $1.5, then the total of money we earn is $1.5y.
Each CD bought for $5, then the total money spent is $-5x
Add the above values like this:
1.5y-5x
We have $20, add them like this:
1.5y-5x+20
Since we want to have<span> at least $10 left when you leave the store, then
we deduce the equation:
</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let the speed of the boat be x
- Speed against the current in the river is x - 2
<u>Time in the river:</u>
<u>Time in the lake:</u>
<u>The difference:</u>
Solve for x to find the speed of the boat
<u>Multiply both sides by x(x - 2) to clear the fraction:</u>
- 6x = 15(x - 2) - x(x - 2)
- 6x = 15x - 30 - x² + 2x
- x² - 11x + 30 = 0
- (x - 5)(x - 6) =0
- x -5 = 0, x - 6 = 0
- x = 5 km/h, x = 6 km/h
