Suppose one of the roots is a the second is 2a. The factors will be:
(x-a) and (x-2a)
thus
(x-a)(x-2a)=x^2+6x+q
x^2-xa-2ax+2a^2=x^2+6x+q
taking corresponding terms we shall have:
-2ax=6x
solving for a we get
-2a=6
thus
a=-3
but
q=2a^2
substituting the value of a we get:
q=2(-3)^2
q=2*9
q=18

Solve the equation V - E + F = 2 for E
Anettt [7]
V + f − e = 2 
<span>Add -2+e to both sides. </span>

<span>v + f − e -2+e = 2 -2+e </span>
<span>On simplification, we get </span>
<span>v + f − 2 = e </span>

<span>Yes, that is the solution for e.</span>

Vincent borrowed $500 from Mitchell for six months. How much interest will Mitchell earn if he charges Vincent a simple interest
tresset_1 [31]
Principal P = $500,  Rate = 3 % = 3/100 = 0.03  would assume per year, 
Time t = 6 months = (6/12) year = 0.5 year.

Simple Interest, I = P*r*t
              
                             = 500*0.03*0.5 = 7.5

And so therefore your answer is 7.5
