Question 7 • Algebra 2 with Probability
The product of two numbers is 32 The first number, x , is one-half of the second number, x Which system of equations can be used to find the two numbers?
Answer
A
x y is equal to 32; x is equal to one half y
B
x plus y is equal to 32; x is equal to one half y
C
x y is equal to 32; x is equal to y minus one half
D
x plus y is equal to 32; x is equal to y minus one half
Explanation
The product of the two numbers is 32, so their equation is xy = 32. The first number, x, is one-half of the second number, y, so x = ½y. Choice A gives both equations.
