Simplifying
2x2 + 6x + 4 = 24
Reorder the terms:
4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24
Solving
4 + 6x + 2x2 = 24
Solving for variable 'x'.
Reorder the terms:
4 + -24 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24
Combine like terms: 4 + -24 = -20
-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 24 + -24
Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
-20 + 6x + 2x2 = 0
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-10 + 3x + x2) = 0
Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(2 + -1x)) = 0
Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0
Solving
-5 + -1x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + 5
-1x = 0 + 5
Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-1x = 5
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5
Simplifying
x = -5
Total hours worked = 5 x 3 = 15 hours
Amount collected = 50 x 15 = $750
Amount paid to the paralegal = 30 x 15 = $450
Amount made by the firm = 750 - 450 = $300
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Respectively we will say the book has One thousand pages (1000) . Now we find 1/4 of a 1000 which is 250 , then we find 1/5 of a 1000 which is 200. Now we add them together which is 250+200=450 . 450 / 1000 = 9/20 which is about a half
Answer:
7 year old boys: 45-53 inches
7 year old girls: 45-52 inches
Midpoint formula: (x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2)
So, (-1+3/2 , 9+8/2)
-2/2 = -1 17/2 = 8.5
Answer: (-1,8.5)
