Two numbers have a product of 20. The second number is three less than twice the first number. What are the two numbers?
1 answer:
Answer:
4 and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 20
x = 2y - 3
(2y-3)y = 20
2y^2 - 3y = 20
2y^2 - 3y - 20 = 0
Solve the quadratic equation
you get y = 4, -5/2
Use 5 since it is one of the options
xy = 20, y = 4
x = 5

It's 60 minutes because 450÷10 is 45 so he has to bike for 45 minutes and a 15 minute break would make it 60 minutes
So find out what times twelve equals 48. Then add a zero in front and that is your answer.
x=3
5x+3x-2=22
8x-2=22
8x=24
x=3
