First positive number (x) = x
Second positive number (y) = x+3
Product: 180 = x · y
180 = x · (x + 3)
180 = x² + 3x
0 = x² + 3x - 180
0 = (x + 15)(x - 12)
0 = x + 15, 0 = x - 12
x = -15, x = 12
x = -15 is NOT a positive number so it can be disregarded.
Answer: 12
The answer is -27. basically your multiplying all of these negatives and the make one big negative
Y=4 when X=1
So it mean y=4(1)
Y=4
X equal 1 when they don't give you the number
Answer:
y = 2x - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplfy 2 (x-1)
y + 18= 2x - 2
move all terms contain "y" to the left side
y = 2x - 20
