Minus 16x both sides and add 28 to both sides
x^2-16x+28=0
factor
hmm, what 2 numbers multiply to 28 and add to -16
hmm
1 and 28? nope
2 and 14? yep
since middle term is negative and last tem is positive, both of the factors are negative
(x-14)(x-2)=0
set each to zero
x-14=0
x=14
x-2=0
x=2
x=2 and 14
Answer:
5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratios to solve
5/12 gallon x gallons
---------------- = -------------------
1/24 minute 1/2 minute
Using cross products
5/12 * 1/2 = x *1/24
5/24 = x/24
Multiply each side by 24
24*5/24 = x/24*24
5=x
We can pump 5 gallons

Answer:
1. x = 1, y = -3
2. x = 3, y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to solve the sets of simultaneous equations;
a) -y = 5x-2
-3y = -5x + 14
substitute 1 into ii
3(5x-2) = -5x + 14
15x - 6 = -5x + 14
15x + 5x = 14 + 6
20x = 20
x = 20/20
x = 1
from;
-y = 5x - 2
y = -5x + 2
y = -5(1) + 2
y = -3
b) -2y = -6x + 10
2y = x + 5
Substitute ii into i
-(x + 5) = -6x + 10
-x - 5 = -6x + 10
-x + 6x = 10 + 5
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3
2y = x + 5
2y = 3 + 5
2y = 8
y = 8/2
y = 4
