Let be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have
If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions
So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:
Answer:
C. (4,-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, I just graphed the two equations. Then I found where they intersected.
Answer:
1) Rizza's average speed is 27 km/h.
2) The distance between Barretto and Pampanga is 294 km.
3) Aaron's journey was 3.5 hours long.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Time taken to cove the distance = 20 minutes
60 minutes = 1 hour
So that, 20 minutes = hours
= hours
Distance covered = 9 km
But,
speed =
Rizza's average speed = 9 ÷
= 9 x 3
= 27 km/h
Rizza's average speed is 27 km/h.
2) Time taken = 3.5 h
the car's average speed = 84 km/h
Distance between Barretto and Pampanga = average speed x time taken
= 84 km/h x 3.5 h
= 294 km
The distance between Baretto and Pampanga is 294 km.
3) The uniform speed implies that Aaron did not accelerate during his journey.
Distance covered = 210 km
uniform speed = 60 km/h
time taken =
=
= 3.5 hours
Aaron's journey was 3.5 hours long.
