x = number of packages he bought
y = number of popsicles in each package
Here are the two equations:
xy = 54
x = 3 + y
Using the substitution method, you can solve them to find x and y.
(3 + y)y = 54,
3y + y^2 = 54
y^2 + 3y - 54 = 0
Solve the quadriatic equation:
(y +9)(y - 6) = 0
y = -9, 6.
Plug y into: xy = 54
x(-9) = 54, x = -6.
x(6) = 54, x = 9.
So he bought 9 packages of popsicles, bc you can't bye -6 packages.
You're right the towo numbers are 1.5 and 3.5 so the answer would be 10
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a number, x, rounded to 2 significant figures is 1300.
It is possible if,
1. The value of x is greater than of equal to 1250 and less than or equal to 1300.
i.e.,
...(1)
2. The value of x is greater than of equal to 1300 and less than 1350.
i.e.,
...(2)
On combining (1) and (2), we get

1350 is not included in the error interval for x.
Interval notation is
.
Therefore, the error interval for x is
.
Answer:
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(3) = -12
to get -12 to 12 you need to add 24 to -12 to make it 12.
so 3 (8) = 24
so -12 + 24 =12
