Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 42
x+y = - 2 Substitute into the top equation
y = -2 - x Put in for y
x(-2 - x) = 42 Remove the brackets
-2x - x^2 = 42 Subtract 42 from both sides.
-2x - x^2 - 42 = 0 Put in the more normal order.
-x^2 - 2x - 42 = 0 Multiply by -1
x^2 + 2x + 42 = 0
This cannot be factored. It gives complex roots as it is written. I will give you the answer but I kind of doubt the question is correct.
x1 = - 1 + 6.40i
x2 = -1 - 6.40i

Answer:
x = 15 or x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross- multiplying gives
(14x + 6)(17x + 5) = 9x(27x + 11) ( expanding factors )
238x² + 172x + 30 = 243x² + 99x
rearrange into standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0
5x² - 73x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form
consider the factors of the product 5 × - 30 = - 150 which sum to the coefficient of the x-term (- 73 )
the factors are - 75 and + 2
Use these factors to split the middle term
5x² - 75x + 2x - 30 = 0 ( factor by grouping )
5x(x - 15) + 2(x - 15) = 0 ← take out the factor (x - 15)
(x - 15)(5x + 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 15
5x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
For this you just have to plug 2 into a and 4 into b. You come to this expression:
3(2) + 4
This gives you 10
B:180 degrees because a circle is 360 degrees and half of 360 is 180. I'm learning this too lol
