What numbers multiply to 6 and add up to 9

Nookie1986 [14]

Xy = 6
x + y = 9

x + y = 9
x - x + y = -x + 9
y = -x + 9

  xy = 6
  x(-x + 9) = 6
  x(-x) + x(9) = 6
-x² + 9x = 6
  -x² + 9x - 6 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(-9x) - 1(6) = 0
-1(x² - 9x + 6) = 0
-1 -1
x² - 9x + 6 = 0
x = -(-9) ± √((-9)² - 4(1)(6))
2(1)
x = 9 ± √(81 - 24)
2
x = 9 ± √(57)
2
x = 4.5 ± 0.5√(57)

x + y = 9
4.5 ± 0.5√(57) + y = 9
- (4.5 ± 0.5√(57)) - (4.5 ± 0.5√(57))
y = 4.5 ± 0.5√(57)
(x, y) = (4.5 ± 0.5√(57), 4.5 ± 0.5√(57))

The two numbers that multiply to 6 and add up to 9 are 4.5 ± 0.5√(57).

Brenda has $30. She gets $5 every time she takes out the trash. Which inequality can be used to find x, the number of times Bren

kobusy [5.1K]

Brenda has to take out the trash more than 4 times to have more than $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount Brenda already have = $30

Amount she gets each time for throwing trash = $5

Amount she wants to have = More than $50

Let,

x be the number of times she throws trash.

Amount for throwing trash * Number of times trash thrown + Amount already have > Amount she wants to have

$5*x+30>50\\5x>50-30\\5x>20$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}>\frac{20}{5}\\x>4$

Brenda has to take out the trash more than 4 times to have more than $50.

It takes Nate five hours to paint a wall, and it takes Jill seven hours to paint the same wall. About how many hours will it wil

Alexxx [7]

Let's use the relation:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{1}{5} + \dfrac{1}{7}}\\ \\ \\ \mathsf{\dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{7+5}{35}}\\ \\ \\ \mathsf{\dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{12}{35}}\\ \\ \\ \mathsf{x = \dfrac{35}{12}}\\ \\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{x\approx 2.92 \ h}}$

It would take about 3 hours to complete the work.

Are computers better than a straight edge and compass

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

They are exact and you can't mess up or accidentally slide the compass or straightedge around. This is just my opinion though.
