Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = - 5, x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 15 = - 8x ( add 8x to both sides )
x² + 8x + 15 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)
The factors are 5 and 3, since
5 × 3 = 15 and 5 + 3= 8, thus
(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
Wow the answer is b because you secelted it
X - y = 9
x + 2y = 27
You can subtract the top equation from the bottom
3y = 18
y = 6
x = 15
The two numbers are 15 and 6
