Given

2x^2-x-3=0

How to factor

Solution

Step 1

Multiply the first and last costant

-3\times2x^2=-6x^2

Step 2

Write out all the pair factors of -6x^2

\begin{gathered} -6x^2=-6x\text{ and x} \\ -6x^2=-x\text{ and 6x} \\ -6x^2=\text{ -3x and 2x} \\ -6x^2=\text{ -2x and 3x} \end{gathered}

Step 3

Check for the pair, such that when you add you will get -x

\begin{gathered} it\text{ is } \\ -3x+2x=-x \\ \therefore-3x,\text{ 2x} \end{gathered}

Step 4

Replace -x with -3x+2x in the equation

2x^2-3x+2x-3=0

Step 5

Put them into brackets Since + is at the center no stress.

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

Step 6

Factor out what is common in the bracket

x(2x^{}-3)+1(2x-3)=0

Step 7

What is in the bracket are the same, pick one

\therefore(2x-3)(x+1)=0_{}

Examine the table below showing the merchandising sales and answer the questions that follow.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The mean amount spent = £14.80

The modal product is hoodies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

25 T shirts each costing £10 were purchased

Amount spent on T shirts = 25 × 10 = £250

30 key ring of £5 were purchased

Amount spent on key ring = 30 × 5 = £150

40 Hoodies for £25 each

Amount spent on Hoodies = 40 × 25 =£1000

30 CD's for £15 each

Amount spent on CD's = 30 ×15 = £450

Total amount spent = 250 +150 + 1000 + 450 = £1850

Total items purchased = 25 + 30 + 40 + 30 = 125

Mean amount spent = \frac{1850}{125}= 14.80

The modal product is Hoodies as the maximum number of hoodies were purchased.

Grace is three times as old as Hans, but in 5 years she will be twice as old as Hans is then. How old are they now? Set up an th
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age of Hans and y be the present age of Grace,

Since, in present Grace is three times as old as Hans,

⇒ y = 3x

⇒ 3x - y = 0

Now, after 5 years,

The age of Hans = x + 5,

And, the age of Grace = y + 5

Also, in 5 years Grace will be twice as old as Hans is then,

⇒ y + 5 = 2 ( x + 5 )

⇒ y + 5 = 2x + 10

⇒ 2x - y = -5

Hence, the required system of linear equations is,

3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5

For the following pairs of equations explain why the equations are NOT equivalent.
Serga [27]
If you were to make both x's equivalent, you'd have to multiply the first equation by 2 to get rid of the coefficient, 1/2. However, you'd have to multiply 2 onto -8 as well, therefore the equation would turn into x - 16 = 18. That is not equivalent to x - 8 = 18.
