Factor completely <br><br>7x²-9x-10​
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

First, assign a value to x.<em> x</em> will be 2 in this case.

Next, multiply x by itself, because that is what exponent 2, or squared, means. 2 x 2 = 4

Now, multiply 4 by 7. 4 x 7 = 28

Next, find the value of <em>9x</em>.

The value of 9x will be 9 times a number, x, also known as 2 in this scenario. 9 x 2 = 18

Then, subtract 28 from 18. 28 - 18 = 10

Lastly, subtract 10. 10 - 10 = 0

Therefore,

The answer is 0. <em>Product may vary depending on value assigned to x.</em>

What is the approximate area of a circle with diameter 6?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: 28.27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can turn the diameter into a radius, giving you 3. Since the equation of an area in a circle is A=πr^2, you must square 3, giving you 9. Now you must multiply 9 with Pi, which is 3.14159265358, but just 3.14 for short. With that, you get about 28.27 as area.

At SMS, 25% of the teachers teach math. If there are 50 math teachers, how many teachers are there all together at SMS?
algol [13]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

25 percent is known to be 1/4 of a number, so if 50 teachers represent 1/4 of all the teachers, that means that in order to get a full number, we must multiple 50 by 4 in order to get all 100% of the teachers.

By doing 50x4, we can conclude that 200 teachers teach at the school (aka 100% of all teachers)
