Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite this in standard quadratic equation form: x^2 - 7x + 6 + 8 = 0, or x^2 - 7x + 14 = 0. This does not factor easily, so I will use the quadratic formula to find the roots and then write out the factors based upon the roots:
The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, which here is (-7)^2 - 4(1)(14) = -7.
Because the discriminant is negative, we know that there are two unequal, complex roots. They are:
-(-7) ± i√7 7 ± i√7
x = ----------------- = ---------------
2 2
One factor is (x - [1/2]{7 ± √7} )
Answer:
There is no variable so -3 therefore cannot be a solution to this.
Plot the y-intercept (0,-1) and then from that point go up seven and to the right one. Plot that point, then draw the line between the two points.
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)
recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.
they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.
When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.

Answer:
12 D. Is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation we will use is

. Solve the equation by multiplying each term by the LCM of the denominator, 12x. The equation is now 2x + 12 = 3x. We solve and find x = 12. It will Marcus 12 hours to paint the room alone.
