Algebra.Com's Answer #355838 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The product of two numbers is 90. One number is 3 more than twice the other number. Use quadratics to determine what the numbers are. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Equations: \n" ); document.write( "xy = 90 \n" ); document.write( "x = 2y+3 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Substitute and solve: \n" ); document.write( "(2y+3)y = 90 \n" ); document.write( "2y^2+3y-90 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "y = [-3 +- sqrt(9-4*2*-90)]/4 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Positive solution: \n" ); document.write( "y = [-3 + sqrt(729)]/4 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "y = [24/4] \n" ); document.write( "y = 6 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\": \n" ); document.write( "x = 2y+3 \n" ); document.write( "x = 15 \n" ); document.write( "============== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "============== \n" ); document.write( " |
