To find the total of what you sold for each package, you'll need to write two equations. Know that x = paper plate packages and y = utensil packages.
First, x + y = 15 shows that there has to be fifteen packages, and 8x + 5y = 90 shows the $ made from selling a certain number of packages.
Next, you can solve by substitution, so change x + y = 15 to y = 15 - x.
To find our x, substitute the y in 8x + 5y = 90 to get
8x + 5(15 - x) = 90
Distribute: 8x + 75 - 5x = 90
Combine the X's and subtract the 75: 3x = 15
Divide the 3: x = 5
Now with our x, we can put 5 into the original equation x + y = 15 to get 5 + y = 15. Subtracting the 5, we get y = 10.
So, you have delivered 5 paper plate packages and 10 utensil packages.
Answer:
incorrect is They have a sum of -14
Answer:
roots : 4, -4, i, -i
Step-by-step explanation:
This gets a bit tricky.
We have to substitude x^2 as u in this problem.
Now to rewrite x^4 − 15x^2 − 16 = 0 with u, we get
u^2 - 15u - 16 = 0
( u - 16) (u + 1)
U = 16
U = -1
<em>This is not the end of the problem. </em>
Now we have to substitute x^2 back to u.
x^2 = 16 --> we get the roots 4 and -4
x^2 = -1 --> we get the roots i and -i
tadah!
