Answer:
x=-5/2, -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2+11x+15=0
factor out the trinomial
(2x+5)(x+3)=0
zero property,
2x+5=0, x+3=0
2x=0-5=-5, x=-5/2
x=0-3=-3
Let's look at an example.
We'll add the fractions 1/6 and 1/8
Before we can add, the denominators must be the same.
To get the denominators to be the same, we can...
- multiply top and bottom of 1/6 by 8 to get 8/48
- multiply top and bottom of 1/8 by 6 to get 6/48
At this point, both fractions involve the denominator 48. We can add the fractions like so
8/48 + 6/48 = (8+6)/48 = 14/48
Add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same the entire time.
The last step is to reduce if possible. In this case, we can reduce. This is because 14 and 48 have the factor 2 in common. Divide each part by 2.
The fraction 14/48 reduces to 7/24
Overall, 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24

Given :
An online store sells only two types of bandanas: cotton bandanas and silk bandanas. Cotton bandanas cost $7 each, and silk bandanas cost $11 each.
Mrs. Tran spent a total of $93 on bandanas at this store.
To Find :
How many cotton bandanas did Mrs. Tran buy.
Solution :
Let, number of cotton and silk bandanas buys are x and y respectively.
So, 7x + 11y = 93
x = (93 - 11y)/ 7
Putting y = 1 , x = 82/7 ( not possible since x can only be positive integer )
Putting y = 4 , x = 7
Therefore, Mrs . Tran will buy 7 cotton bandanas.
Hence, this is the required solution.
