Mathematics

Using the total weight the number of red, green and yellow colour are 2, 4 and 3 respectively.

<h3>How to find each colour using total weight?</h3>

The total number of reds, yellows, and greens on a scale is 9.

The reds weighed 3 pounds each, the yellows weighed 6 pounds each, and the greens weighed 5 pounds each. The total weight is 44

pounds. There are 2 more greens than reds.

Therefore,

let

x = number of reds

number of greens = x + 2

y = number of yellow

Therefore,

x + x + 2 + y = 9

2x + y = 7

3x + 6y + 5(x + 2) = 44

3x + 6y + 5x + 10 = 44

8x + 6y = 34

Hence,

2x + y = 7

8x + 6y = 34

8x + 4y = 28

8x + 6y = 34

2y = 6

y = 6 / 2

y = 3

2x + 3 = 7

2x = 7 - 3

2x  = 4

x = 4 / 2

x = 2

Therefore,

the number red colour = 2

the number of green colour = 2 + 2 = 4

the number of yellow colour = 3

PLEASEEEEEE HELPPPPPPPPP<br><br> what are the zeros for this?<br> f(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 2
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

-3/2 ±1/2 sqrt(5) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Set the function equal to 0

0 = 2x^2 + 6x + 2

Factor out 2

0 = 2(x^2 + 3x + 1)

Divide by 2

0 = (x^2 + 3x + 1)

Subtract 1 from each side

-1 = x^2 +3x

Complete the square by dividing the x coefficient by 2 and then squaring

(3/2)^2 = 9/4

-1 +9/4 = x^2 +3x+9/4

-4/4+9/4 = (x+3/2) ^2

5/4 = (x+3/2) ^2

Taking the square root of each side

± sqrt(5/4) = sqrt( (x+3/2) ^2)

±1/2 sqrt(5) =  (x+3/2)

Subtract 3/2 from each side

-3/2 ±1/2 sqrt(5) = x
