15x = 7x + 8x

x^2+15x=-56\\\\ x^2+15x+56=0\\\\ x^2+7x+8x+56=0\\\\x(x+7)+8(x+7)=0\\\\ (x+7)(x+8)=0 \\\\ x=-7 \ or \ x=-8

An alternative answer to the correct one by Mjankiewicz is this:

You move -56 to the left of equal with changed sign

x² + 15x + 56 = 0

The formula to solve this is:

x1,2 = (-b±√Δ)/2a

Δ = b²-4ac

15 is b, 56 is c and 1(x) is a

x1,2 = (-15±√15²-4*1*56)/2*1

x1,2 = (-15±√225-224)/2

x1,2 = (-15±√1)/2

x1,2 = (-15±1)/2

x1 = (-15+1)/2 = -14/2 = -7

x2 = (-15-1)/2 = -16/2 = -8

An engineer is designing an arch-shaped gate for the entrance to an amusement park. The gate must be 80 feet wide and 25 feet ta
Tom [10]
1) the form of the equation may be written as y = A(X - Xo)(X - X1)

Where Xo and X1 are the two roots of the equation.


2) We can fix the system of coordinates so that the vertex is in the middle of the gate => Xo = - 40 and X1 = +40


=> y = A (X + 40) (X - 40) = A (X^2 - 1600) 


3) The height, at X = 0 is 25

=> A(0 - 1600) = 25


=> -1600A = 25 => A = -25 / 1600 = - 1/64


4) The equation is y =  - [1/64] (X^2 - 1600)


5) You can present it in different equivalent forms.

Some of those other forms are:

1) - 64y = (x^2 - 1600)

2) x^2 = - 64y + 1600

3) X^2 = - 64 (y - 25)

A shade of green paint is made by mixing yellow paint and blue paint in the ratio 5:2. Mel has 30 litres of yellow paint and 9 l
vodomira [7]

Answer:

31.5 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mel uses all 30 litres of yellow paint, then:

5 / 2 = 30 / x

5x = 60

x = 12

Mel would need 12 litres of blue paint, but she only has 9 litres.  So the amount of yellow paint she needs is:

5 / 2 = x / 9

2x = 45

x = 22.5

Mel will use 22.5 litres of yellow paint with 9 litres of blue paint to make a total of 31.5 litres of green paint.
