<span>The <u>correct answers</u> are:
x=-3 and x=-8.
Explanation<span>:
We can first write this in standard form, ax</span></span>²<span><span>+bx+c=0. To do this, we will add 11x to both sides:
x</span></span>²<span><span>+24+11x=-11x+11x
x</span></span>²<span><span>+11x+24=0.
Now we can factor this. Look for factors of c, 24, that sum to b, 11. Factors of 24 are:
1 and 24 (sum 25)
2 and 12 (sum 14)
3 and 8 (sum 11)
4 and 6 (sum 10).
The factors we need are 3 and 8, since they sum to 11. This gives us factored form:
(x+3)(x+8)=0.
Using the zero product property, we know that in order to have a product of 0, one or both of the factors must be 0. This means we have:
x+3=0 or x+8=0.
Solving the first equation:
x+3-3=0-3
x=-3.
Solving the second equation:
x+8-8=0-8
x=-8.</span></span>
I believed there's a typo in your question
<span>The product of 3 and a number x is 2/3
if so
</span>3x = 2/3
x = 2/3 * 1/3
x = 2/9
answer
x = 2/9
ratio of adults to students can be written as a fraction
adult tickets / student tickets
140/210 can be simplified to 14/21
14/21 can be simplifed to 2/3
This is the "commutative property of addition." The order in which you add numbers together doesn't matter, and doesn't change your final results.
