For this case we have a quadratic equation, 
, of the form 
Where:
We can solve the equation by factoring, that is, we bias two numbers that multiplied give as a result -60 and added as a result 28.
These numbers are:
Then, the factorization is given by:
The roots are:
Answer:
What is the figure
please give full question
First, you should combine the x terms:
-3x - 7 = 29
Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.
-3x = 22
Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.
x = -22/3 or -7.33
Answer:
Sophie has 12.5 cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> number of cards Sophie has
y -----> number of cards Jackie has
we know that
x+y=30 -----> equation A
y=x+5 -----> equation B
Solve by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(x+5)=30
2x=30-5
x=12.5 cards
Note I assume the problem was invented without taking into account the result, because the amount of cards should be a whole number
