A -------------------------------------
Start with assigning each person with a variable to represent their height
Ebi: e
Jose: j
Derell: d
Asami: a
Ebi'd height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height
j + 2.5 = e
Jose's height was 3.1 cm greater than Derell's
d + 3.1 = j
Derell's height is 0.4 cm less than Asami's height
a - 0.4 = d
Ebi is 162.5 cm tall
e = 162.5
So, plug in 162.5 into any of the above equations were there is a variable of e
j + 2.5 = e
j + 2.5 = 162.5
Subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation
j = 160 cm
Jose's height is 160 cm
Now, plug in 160 into any of the above equations where there is a j
d + 3.1 = j
d + 3.1 = 160
Subtract 3.1 from both sides of the equation
d = 156.9 cm
Derell's height 156.9 cm
so, plug in 156.9 into any of the above equations where there is a d
a - 0.4 = d
a - 0.4 = 156.9
Add 0.4 on both sides of the equation
a = 157.3 cm
Asami's height is 157.3 cm
Answer:
x2-5x-8=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Two solutions were found :
x =(5-√57)/2=-1.275
x =(5+√57)/2= 6.275
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2".
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2-5x-8
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -8
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -8 = -8
Step-2 : Find two factors of -8 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
-8 + 1 = -7
-4+ 2 = -2
-2+ 4 = 2
-1 + 8 = 7
2x=y
two times the number of minutes = the amount of pages
