Answer:
12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
4 * 100 / 32 = 12.5
I wasn't going to click on this one, but the all-caps enthralled me and hypnotized me.
first off, let's change all the mixed fractions to "improper" and proceed from there, keep in mind that if we subtract the two bags' weight from the total, what's leftover is the 3rd bag's weight.
Answer:
mhm thanks 4 the points
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2
x = -3/2 or -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, I would use the "slip and slide" method. LOL I know the name is cheesy, but that's what my teacher called it!
First, you "slip" the coefficent of the leading term (2) to the constant, and multiply.
The equation becomes:
x² - x - 6(2) = 0
x² - x - 12 = 0
Then, you factor this out by looking at the second and third terms. You're looking for 2 factors of -12 that would add up to -1 ( the coefficent of the second term).
Automatically, think of 3 and 4, because the difference between them is 1.
The factors must be (x-4) and (x+3) because they multiple to -12, and add up to -1.
This step is extremely important! Lol I used to forget it a lot, but make sure you divide the constant in each factor by the original number you "slipped".
It would become (x-(4/2))(x+3/2) = (x-2)(x+3/2)
With (x+3/2), you don't want to leave it as a fraction or decimal. It's equivalent to (2x+3). However, the informal form is easier to identify the value of x.
