You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:
3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0
Hold the 3 for later re-insertion. Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.
1. Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it: 2 divided by 2 is 1
2. Square this result: 1^2 = 1
3. Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
x^2 +2x
4 Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1: x^2 + 2x + 1 -3 -1 = 0,
or x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5. Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:
(x+1)^2 - 4 = 0
We have "completed the square." We can stop here. or, we could solve for x: one way would be to factor the left side:
[(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0 The solutions would then be:
x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3. (you were not asked to do this).

Answer:
assuming its an annual interest
Okay so 6 percent interest, the bank is paying you.
So with this it’s 6 percent of 1500 and add it to 1500.
You can always find 6 percent of 1500 and then add but here’s a short cut.
Your principle (beginning) balance is 1500.
That’s already 100 percent since thats yoru original value.
You then get added 6 percent interest.
We are jsut adding 6 percent to 100 percent so 106 percent.
Now we solve normally and you’d get the answer faster.
106 percent is 106/100 or 1 3/5 or 1.06
now we multiply
1500 * 1.06 = 1590
Your final balance would be 1590 after the 6 percent interest is added.
Answer:
(-4,9)
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute the given value for y into the first equation
x-5(-2x+1)=-49
distribute
x+10x-5=-49
add like terms
11x-5=-49
add 5 to both sides
11x=-44
divide both sides by 11
x=-4
now plug x into into the second equation
y=-2(-4)+1
y=8+1
add like terms
y=9
Answer:
Pierre has enough boards and nails to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
Step-by-step explanation:
13T+8C ≤ 220
Let us substitute 9 for T and 5 for C and check.
13(9) + 8(5) = 117 + 40
= 157 < 220
So, 220 wooden boards are sufficient to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
48T+37C ≤ 760
Substitute 9 for T and 5 for C.
48(9)+37(5) = 432 + 185
= 617 < 760
So, 760 nails are sufficient to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
Hence, Pierre has enough boards and nails to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
