Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomials are expressions containing the sum (or difference) of two terms.
A. is not the answer because pq and qp are <u>products</u>.
C. is not the answer because 3x is not a sum/difference.
D. is not the answer because it is one binomial, not two muliplied together.
Rewriting the equation as a quadratic equation equal to zero:
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
We need two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -30. In this case, it would have to be 5 and -6. Therefore we can also write our equation in the factored form
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
Now we have a product of two expressions that is equal to zero, which means any x value that makes either (x + 5) or (x - 6) zero will make their product zero.
x + 5 = 0 => x = -5
x - 6 = 0 => x = 6
Therefore, our solutions are x = -5 and x = 6.
Answer:
9 laps.
Step-by-step explanation:
-Let x be the number of laps Taylor runs.
-Given that the ratio of Kyle to Taylor laps is 2:3, we express the actual laps in meters to solve for x as follows:
Hence, Taylor runs 9 laps.
get a common denominator of 18
5/6 * 3/3 +4/9 * 2/2 - -2*18/18
15/18 +8/18 + 36/18
23/18 + 36/18
59/18
change to a mixed number
18 goes into 59 3 times with 5 left over
3 and 5 /18
