Answer:

15 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x and y are two numbers.

Two equations:

x · y = 15

x + y = 16

Rearrange one of the equations (I'll rearrange the sum equation):

x + y = 16

x = 16 - y

Substitute that to the other equation and solve for y:

x · y = 15

(16 - y) · y = 15

16 - y · y = 15

16 - y² = 15

-y² = 15 - 16

-y² = -1

y² = 1

y = √1

y = 1

Now substitute that to any of the equation and solve for x (in here, I'll choose the multiplication one):

x · y = 15

x · 1 = 15

x = 15

Now verify:

15 · 1 = 15

15 + 1 = 16

This is correct

How do you find the equation of a triangles altitude using point slope formula?

forsale [732]

1. An altitude of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. Find the equations of the altitudes of the triangle with vertices (4, 5),(-4, 1) and (2, -5). Do this by solving a system of two of two of the altitude equations and showing that the intersection point also belongs to the third line.

If we plot the points and connect them, we get this triangle:

Let point
A=(xA,yA)
B=(xB,yB)
C=(xC,yC)

-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment AB

Start with the general formula

Plug in the given points

Simplify and combine like terms

So the equation of the line through AB is

-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment BC

Start with the general formula

Plug in the given points

Simplify and combine like terms

So the equation of the line through BC is

-------------------------------
Let's find the equation of the segment CA

Start with the general formula

Plug in the given points

Simplify and combine like terms

So the equation of the line through CA is

So we have these equations of the lines that make up the triangle

So to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point C(2,-5), simply negate and invert the slope to get

Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into

Solve for y and simplify

So the altitude for vertex C is

Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point A(4,5), simply negate and invert the slope to get

Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into

Solve for y and simplify

So the altitude for vertex A is

Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to that goes through the point B(-4,1), simply negate and invert the slope to get

Now plug the slope and the point (-4,1) into

Solve for y and simplify

So the altitude for vertex B is

------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's solve the system

Plug in into the first equation

Add 2x to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

Now plug this into

So the orthocenter is (-2/3,1/3)

So if we plug in into the third equation , we get

So the orthocenter lies on the third altitude

Jen has 2 meters of taffy. She wants to give each of her 3 best friends an equal amount of taffy. How many centimeters of taffy

Katarina [22]

first you'll need to convert the meters to centimeters. 2 meters = 200 centimeters. then you divide 200 by 3 which is 6 2/3 centimeters for each person.
