Find 2 numbers who product is 15 and sum is 16.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marizza181 [45]3 years ago
6 0

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

A rectangle has a length that is 7 inches less that twice it's width. The area of the rectangle is 72 square inches. Write an eq
Nitella [24]

Answer: 2x^2-7x=72 , where  x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).

Then its length =  2x-7 ( in inches).

Area of rectangle = Length × width

= (2x-7) × (x)

= 2x × x -7 ×x

= 2x²-7x

The area of the rectangle is 72 square inches.

\Rightarrow\ 2x^2-7x=72

Hence, the equation that represents the given situation :

2x^2-7x=72

What is 20% of 180<br>please i realy need to answer this​
blagie [28]

Answer:

36

20 percent * 180 =

(20:100)* 180 =

(20* 180):100 =

3600:100 = 36

Now we have: 20 percent of 180 = 36

Question: What is 20 percent of 180?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 180.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$180=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=20\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$180=100\%(1)$.

$x=20\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{180}{x}=\frac{100\%}{20\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

Step-by-step explanation:

Round 253.5198 to the nearest thousandth
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

253.520

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see what is the thousandths place...

It is the third digit to the right.

253.5198 rounded is about

253.520.

I can tell because you take the thousandths place, look at the one to the right of it, then if it is greater than 5, you make the thousandths place greater. Since it's a 9, you move the extra 10 thousandths to the next thing- the hundredths. and you get 253.520.

Solve 2 1/2 divided by 5 1/3 = 8/x
ipn [44]
2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \quad divided\quad by\quad 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ 2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =2+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \\ \\ 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =5+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 15+1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 16 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \\ \frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  }

We're dividing fractions, so we will flip the one in the denominator upside down and we will multiply it with the numerator.

\frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 }  }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 }  } \quad =\quad \frac { 5 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 16 } =\frac { 5\cdot 3 }{ 2\cdot 16 } =\frac { 15 }{ 32 }

Let's equal this too 8/x

\frac { 15 }{ 32 } =\frac { 8 }{ x }

Cross multiply. 

8\cdot 32=15\cdot x\\ \\ 256=15x

Divide both sides by 15.

\frac { 256 }{ 15 } =\frac { 15x }{ 15 } \\ \\ \frac { 256 }{ 15 } =x
