Which two numbers have a sum of 15 and a product of 36

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago

Answer:

3 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and y then

x + y = 15 → (1)

xy = 36 → (2)

From (1) : y = 15 - x → (3)

substitute y = 15 - x into (2)

x(15 - x) = 36

15x - x² = 36 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

15x - x² - 36 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 and arrange in standard form )

x² - 15x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 3)(x - 12) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

substitute these values into (3) for corresponding value of y

x = 3 → y = 15 - 3 = 12

x = 12 → y = 15 - 12 = 3

Hence the 2 numbers are 3 and 12

A line with slope -2/3 passes through the point (-12,16) What is the X-intercept
Troyanec [42]

to find the x-intercept of a function, we simply set y = 0 and then solve for "x", so, let's first find the equation of it and then set y = 0.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-12}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{16})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies-\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}[x-(-12)] \\\\\\ y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+12)\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{y}{\downarrow }}{0}-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}x-8\implies -8=-\cfrac{2x}{3} \\\\\\ -24=-2x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-2}=x\implies 12=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (12,0) ~\hfill

Multiplying two digits<br>​
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Get a calculator

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of the time for simple math like multiplying 2 digits, it is easiest if you just get a calculator. It saves a lot of time.

If you can't get a calculator then i recommend memorizing some common equations.

For example 10*15= 150

so that if you get 12*15=?, you can easily just add two extra 15's to your answer of 150.

15+15 is 30, and 30+150(from 10*15)=180.

Therefore 12*15=180.

:) Hope that helped!

HELP what is the value of x?
pochemuha
