the answer of the question is $36
For every 4 scoops there must be 6 cups of water
Xy = -150
x + y = 5
x + y = 5
x - x + y = -x + 5
y = -x + 5
xy = -150
x(-x + 5) = -150
x(-x) + x(5) = -150
-x² + 5x = -150
-x² + 5x + 150 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(-5x) - 1(-150) = 0
-1(x² - 5x - 150) = 0
-1 -1
x² - 5x - 150 = 0
x = -(-5) ± √((-5)² - 4(1)(-150))
2(1)
x = 5 ± √(25 + 600)
2
x = 5 ± √(625)
2
x = 5 ± 25
2
x = 2.5 ± 12.5
x = 2.5 + 12.5 or x = 2.5 - 12.5
x = 15 or x = -10
x + y = 5
15 + y = 5
- 15 - 15
y = -10
(x, y) = (15, -10)
or
x + y = 5
-10 + y = 5
+ 10 + 10
y = 15
(x, y) = (-10, 15)
The two numbers that add up to 5 and multiply to -150 are 15 and -10.
Answer:
<h2><u>
y = -2x</u></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
If you notice very carefully then you will see that the line passes through the points :
( 1 , - 2 )
( - 1 , 2 )
Hence the value of x = 1 when the value of y = - 2 .
We know that - 2 × 1 = - 2
⇒ - 2 x = y
⇒ y = - 2x
Hence the first OPTION is correct .
Verification :
For points ( - 1 , 2 ) we can write :
y = - 2x
⇒ 2 = - 2 × - 1
⇒ 2 = 2
Hence the answer is verified .
Always try to use the converse of the graphical method .
( Nothing converse is there ... just saying the opposite steps of that method :P )
I mean in graphical method we plot points and then join , here identify the joined points and then make the equation .
