Let one factor be x. Second factor is 11 less than half of this factor, so second factor will be (0.5x - 11). The product of these two factors is -36.

So,

-36=x(0.5x-11) \\  \\ 
-36=0.5 x^{2} -11x \\  \\ 
-72= x^{2} -22x \\  \\ 
 x^{2} -22x+72=0 \\ \\ x^{2} -18x-4x+72=0 \\  \\ 
x(x-18)-4(x-18)=0 \\  \\ 
(x-4)(x-18)=0 \\  \\ 
x=4, x=18

If,
x = 4, the other factor will be = 0.5(4) - 11 = - 9
If,
x = 18, the other factor will be = 0.5(18) - 11 = -2

So, there are two possible set of factors.
1) 4 and -9
2) -2 and 18

From these -2 and 18 is available in the options. So this is the correct answer.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given mathematical statement

4x+3=x+5-2x

So,

\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=x+5-2x&\text{ Given}\end{array}

2. Rewrite it as

4x+3=x-2x+5

So,

\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=x-2x+5&\text{ Commutative property of addition}\end{array}

3. Combine like terms x and -2x:

4x+3=-x+5

So,

\begin{array}{cc}4x+3=-x+5&\text{ Combine like terms}\end{array}

4. Add x to both sides:

4x+3+x=-x+5+x\\ \\5x+3=5

So,

\begin{array}{cc}5x+3=5&\text{ Addition property of equality}\end{array}

5. Subtract 3 from both sides:

5x+3-3=5-3\\ \\5x=2

So,

\begin{array}{cc}5x=2&\text{ Subtraction property of equality}\end{array}

6. Divide both sides by 5:

x=\dfrac{2}{5}

So,

\begin{array}{cc}x=\dfrac{2}{5}&\text{ Division property of equality}\end{array}

Mai and Jada are both running on a treadmill. Mai travels 5 miles in 15 minutes. Jada travels 4 miles in 14 minutes. Who ran at
sasho [114]

Answer:

Mai

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate, you must determine who is going faster per minute. To do this, you must divide the total number of miles by the total number of minutes.

Mai: 5 miles / 15 minutes = 1/3 miles per minute

Jada: 4 miles / 14 minutes = 2/7 miles per minute

Then, use a common denominator to make calculations easier:

Mai: 1/3 * 7/7

Jada: 2/7 * 3/3

You should get:

Mai: 7/21 miles per minute

Jada: 6/21 miles per minute

By looking at this, you can see that Mai is traveling slightly faster, going more miles than Jada per minute.
