Hello there!
The sum of two numbers (x + y) is 8 (=8).
Their product (x * y) is 15 (=15).
x + y = 8
x * y = 15
First, we know that the two number must be positive and under 8, as the product is positive.
Let's list out some numbers that are from 1 to 8 that sum up to 8;
1 + 7
2 + 6
3 + 5
4 + 4
Now, we need to multiply the two numbers that add up to 8, and see which makes a product of 15.
1 * 7 = 7, this does not work.
2 * 6 = 12, this does not work.
3 * 5 = 15, this works!
4 * 4 = 16, this does not work.
Since we are looking for the larger number in our pairs, let's pick the largest one out of the correct pair, which is 5.
The largest number is 5.
I hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
let gold fish= X
let Plecos fish= Y
X +Y = 17................(I)
13.49X + 3.25Y =198.61........(II)
solve simuteniously to get
X = 14
Y = 3.....therefore
she bought 14 gold fish and 3 plecos fish
3(2x + 4) = -6
6x + 12 = -6
6x = -6 - 12
6x = - 18
x = -18/6
x = -3
Answer:
Bethanie and Laney walked a total of = 0.66 miles or (
th of a mile)
Step-by-step explanation:
Bethanie walked 3/10th of a mile
Laney walked 36/100th of a mile
Lets divide and convert them to decimal:
3 divided by 10 gives us 0.30
36 divided by 100 gives 0.36
Total they walked:
0.30 + 0.36 = 0.66 miles
That would be (in fraction):
66/100 = 33/50 of a mile
