9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313

Step-by-step explanation:

If one of the numbers is x, then the other is 13-x, and their product is ...

  x(13 -x) = -12

  x^2 -13x = 12 . . . . multiply by -1 and simplify

  x^2 -13x +6.5^2 = 12 +6.5^2 . . . . complete the square

  (x -6.5)^2 = 54.25

  x -6.5 = √54.25

  x = 6.5 +√54.25 ≈ 13.8654599313

and the other number is ...

  13 -x = 13 -13.8654599313 = -0.8654599313

The two numbers are 13.8654599313 and -0.8654599313.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length x breadth

area of picture not enlarged = 3 x 5 = 15in²

If length is tripled it becomes , 3 x 3 = 9in

If width is tripled, it becomes , 5 x 3 = 15in

Area of enlarged picture = 9in x 15in = 135in²

amount by which enlarged image is larger = 135in² /15in² = 9

OLga [1]

Answer:

Each sweater costs $8.30

Step-by-step explanation:

j = jeans

s = sweater

3j + 3s = 105.69

3(26.93) + 3s = 105.69

80.79 + 3s = 105.69

-80.79          -80.79

3s = 24.9

/3   /3

s = 8.3 ($8.30)

Check:

3j + 3s = 105.69

3(26.93) + 3(8.3) = 105.69

80.79 + 24.9 = 105.69

105.69 = 105.69

Hope this helps!
