Answer:

The each have to place 2 subscriptions

Step-by-step explanation:

Adriana

E (earnings) = 6 + 2*x where x is the number of subscriptions

Sophie

E (earnings) = 4 + 3x

For them to earn the same amount, their right sides must be equated.

4 + 3x = 6 + 2x Subtract 2x from both sides

4 + 3x - 2x = 6+ 2x - 2x Combine

4 + x = 6 Subtract 4 from both sides

4 - 4 + x = 6 - 4

x = 2

What is the sum of 20x^2-10x-30

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The sum of the roots is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

What is the sum of the roots of 20x^2-10x-30

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

The sum of the roots is equal to

$-\frac{b} {a}$

in this problem we have

$20x^{2} -10x-30=0$

$a=20\\b=-10\\c=-30$

substitute

$-\frac{(-10)} {20}=0.5$

Verify

Find the roots of the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

$a=20\\b=-10\\c=-30$

substitute

$x=\frac{-(-10)\pm\sqrt{-10^{2}-4(20)(-30)}} {2(20)}$

$x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{2,500}} {40}$

$x=\frac{10\pm50} {40}$

$x=\frac{10+50} {40}=1.5$

$x=\frac{10-50} {40}=-1$

The roots are x=-1 and x=1.5

The sum of the roots are

$-1+1.5=0.5$ ----> is ok
