Answer:
45/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can interpret the question to have two equation which can be solve simultaneously
a+b=7------------(1)
a-b=2------------(2)
From eqn(2) make a subject of formula
a=2+b--------(3)
Substitute the (3) into eqn(1)
a+b=7------------(1)
2+b+b=7
2b=7-2
2b=5
b=5/2
From equation (3) substitute value of b to find a
a=2+b--------(3)
a= 2+5/2
a=9/2
Then What is the value of a x b ?
9/2× 5/2
=45/4
Cancel out the denominators.
(x+5)² + 18 = -30
(x+5)² = -30 - 18
(x+5)² = -48
The equation is impossible, we have a negative number.
There isn't a number that squared gives a negative number (the square is always positive).
√(x+5)² = +/- √-48
x+5 = +/- √-48
IMPOSSIBLE
You can write the result in imaginary numbers
x+5=+/- 4i√3
I used a graphing calculator for this.
The solution my calculator got was:
(-2.625, 0.688) My calculator is very accurate, I don't think the test expects it to be like that.
Let's find the closest coordinates.
"B" is the closest.
I hope this helps!
