Answer:
1.5 or -5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x²+7x-15=0
Divide by 2:
x²+7x/2-15/2=0
x=-7/2/2 ± √49/4(4)+15/2
=-7/4 ± √49/16+120/16
=-7/4± √169/16=-7/4 ±13/4
=6/4 or -20/4
=1.5 or -5
Answer:
60 degrees per angle.
Step-by-step explanation: a triangle has a total of 180 degrees, and the number of sides determine the number of angles it has. in this case, it's an equilateral triangle. 180/3 = 60. all triangles have 3 sides if you didn't know that ;)
Answer:
Fraction of fire trucks = 
Total number of toy cars = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of sports car = 
Fraction of remaining cars 
So,
Fraction of pick up cars = 
Therefore,
Fraction of fire trucks = 
That is Number of fire trucks =
( Total number of toy cars )
Number of fire trucks = 4
Total number of toy cars =

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations
</u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is

Let's arrange into format:

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

Now for the second expression

Let's arrange into format

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been
