Set each expression from the parentheses equal to 0 separately like so:
Equation 1: x - 4 = 0
Equation 2: -5x + 1 = 0
Now for each equation solve for x!
Equation 1:
x +(- 4 + 4) = 0 + 4
x = 4
Equation 2:
-5x +( 1-1) = 0 - 1
-5x/ -5 = -1 / -5
x = 1/5
Check:
(4 - 4)(-5*4 + 1)
(0) (-20 + 1)
(0) (-19)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
(1/5 - 4)(-5 * 1/5 + 1)
(-19/5)(-1 + 1)
(-19/5)(0)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
smaller x = 1/5
larger x = 4
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Tom was speeding.
Step-by-step explanation:
The driving speed of Tom = 20.3 meters per second.
Speed allowed in the zone = 45 miles per hour zone.
Since the unit of speed allowed is given in miles per hour but the speed of tom is given in meters per second. So, first, we have to convert the meter per second into mile per hour then we can compare and find that Tom is speeding or not.
1 mile = 1609.34 meters
1 hour = 3600 second
Now convert 20.3 into mile per hour.
20.3 meters per second. = (20.3 / 1609.34)*3600 = 45.40981 mile per hour.
Since Tom’s speed is more than the allowed speed so he is speeding.
