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]
<span><span><span>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. </span>

<span>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.
