Answer:
x = 3 and -2 are the two solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 -2x -12 = 0
First factor out a 2
2(x^2 - x - 6) = 0
2(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0
2 = 0 x - 3 = 0 x + 2 = 0
2 does not equal zero so this is an extraneous solution
x - 3 = 0 so x = 3
x + 2 = 0 so x = -2
To find the average, add up all the numbers, then divide that answer by the quantity of numbers.
STEP 1:
add all numbers
=30 + 20 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 120
=170 total
STEP 2:
divide total from step 1 by 7 (total quantity of numbers given, including zeros)
=170 ÷ 7
=24.2857
=24.3 rounded to nearest tenth
***You could also calculate the average by adding only non-zero results (20,30,120) and then dividing by 3 (the quantity of only non-zero numbers).
ANSWER: The average number of minutes studied per day is 24.3.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
slope = -2/3; y-intercept is point (0, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -6 - 2/3 x
y = -2/3 x - 6
y = mx + b
m = slope = -2/3
b = y-intercept = -6
Answer: slope = -2/3; y-intercept is point (0, -6)
76/1000 because the place thousand and the number is 76
