Answer:
s = 6, r = 8 or s = 4, r = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
2r - s = 10
2r = 10 + s
r = 5 + s/2 --(1)
rs - s^2 = 12 --(2)
sub (1) into (2):
(5 + s/2)s - s^2 = 12
5s + 0.5s^2 - s^2 = 12
-0.5s^2 + 5s - 12 = 0
s^2 - 10s + 24 = 0
(s - 6)(s - 4) = 0
therefore s = 6 or s = 4
when s = 6, r = 8 and when s = 4, r = 7

9y = 6x + 54
divide through by 9:-
y = 6/9y + 54/9
y = 2/3 x + 6 <---- answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by factoring out a 5:
We need to find two integers that have a product of 12, and a sum of -7:
(-3)(-4)=12
-3-4=-7
We can split -7x into -3x and -4x
Factor each half separately:
![5[x(x-3)-4(x-3)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5%5Bx%28x-3%29-4%28x-3%29%5D)
Since x and -4 are both being multiplied by x-3, we can combine them:
Answer: 15 gallons .
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
4 quarts = 1 gallon
therefore 60 quarts = (60 quarts x 1 gallon) / 4 quarts
= 15 gallons .
Step 2-- The converted amount which is 15 has fewer units than the original which is 60.
