8 0

2x*2 + 6x + 80

First we have to use distribution property

2(x*2 + 3x + 40)=0
Divide 2 to both sides

X*2 + 3x + 40=0

Multiply -1
-x*2 -3x-40=0
Add two numbers to get 3x
Multiply same two numbers that you add to get 40x*2

Add
-8x+5x= -3x

Multiply
-8x . 5x= -40x*2

-x*2-8x+5x-40

(X*2-8x) + (5x-40)

X(x-8)+ 5(X-8)

Common factor

(X-8)(x+5)

This would help you!

babunello [35]

5 nieces, 7500 each=37,500 total in inheritance fees. I think is irrelevent but I am not sure. If each niece gets 237,500, multiply by five is 1,187,500. I think that since each niece gets equal amounts you would just have to multiply by five to get what the inheritance would be worth, but I am not completely sure.

What is the length of ab? 10.5 4 10 6

kramer

Look at the picture.

|AB| = r - |OA|

Use Pythagorean theorem:

$|OA|^2+10^2=14.5^2\\\\|OA|^2+100=210.25\ \ \ |-100\\\\|OA|^2=110.25\to|OA|=\sqrt{110.25}\to|OA|=10.5$

$Answer:\ |AB|=14.5-10.5=4$

Solve the system using the substitution method 3x-y=4 5x+3y=9

rjkz [21]

First solve the first equation for 'y'
3x - y = 4 subtract 3x from both sides
-y = -3x + 4 divide both sides by -1
y = 3x - 4 Now take this equation and substitute into the second equation:

5x + 3y = 9
5x + 3(3x - 4) = 9
5x + 9x - 12 = 9
14x - 12 = 9
14x = 9 + 12
14x = 21
x = $\frac{21}{14} = \frac{3}{2}$ or 1.5
Now substitute this value for 'x' into either of the first two equations to find 'y'
I'll use the equation
y = 3x - 4
y = 3(1.5) - 4
y = 0.5

So your solution is (1.5, 0.5)

5 The system of equations at the right

Murrr4er [49]

A)
x = -y -2
y = -x -2

B)
0.5x + y = 1
0.5x + (-x -2) = 1
-0.5x -2 = 1
-0.5x = 3
x = -6
