Answer:
2a-3 and a+4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
2a²+8a -15 = 3a - 3
We are to find one of its factors
Equate the expression to zero
2a²+8a -15 = 3a - 3
2a²+8a -15 - 3a + 3 = 0
Collect the like terms
2a²+8a - 3a - 15 + 3= 0
2a²+5a - 12= 0
Factorize
2a²+8a-3a - 12= 0
2a(a+4)-3(a+4) = 0
(2a-3)(a+4) = 0
Hence the factors are 2a-3 and a+4
Answer:
x = -53/8
Step-by-step explanation:
6(2x + 7) = 5x - 11 - x
12x + 42 = 5x -11 - x (Distributive property)
12x + 42 = 4x - 11 (Subtraction property)
8x + 42 = -11 (Subtraction Property)
8x = -53 (Subtraction Property)
<u><em>x = -53/8</em></u>
i believe it's 22.5 out of 45 to get exactly .500
5/8÷1/3=5/8×3/1
(multiply by reciprocal instead of dividing)
5/8×3/1=15/8=1.875
Answer:
500 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>hey there,</em>
<em />
< Since "p" stands for profits, change "p" to 0 (since the question says 0 profits).
Here is how your equation would look like:

Pretend like "n" is "x" since that is the variable we are trying to find here.
Solve for "n". Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
"n" actually ends up equaling 500, -200.
Obviously, negative can't be the answer because you can't have a negative amount of boxes. So 500 boxes would be your answer. 200 CAN'T be your answer <em>either </em>because it is a negative!! >
