Solve x squared minus 2x minus 15 equals 0 using the zero product property

1 answer:

4 0

X^2 - 2x - 15 = 0

(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

We have two factors:

(x - 5) and (x + 3)

Set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

Take it ftom here.

You are baking brownies for your class. There are 28 total students in your class and you have baked 23 brownies. Right and solv

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$x = 33$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Students = 28$

$Brownies = 23$

$Brownies = 2\ per\ student$

Required

Determine the number of brownies left

If:

$Brownies = 2\ per\ student$

and there are 28 students

Then:

$Total\ Brownies = 2 * 28$

$Total\ Brownies = 56$

To determine the number of brownies left, we have:

$Total\ Brownies = Brownies\ Made + Brownies\ Left$

$56 = 23 + x$

Reorder

$x + 23 = 56$

Collect Like Terms

$x = 56 - 23$

$x = 33$

Hence, there are 33 brownies left

I -72 –54 -36 y 25 13 1 What is the y-intercept of the line?

Allisa [31]

Answer:

-23

Step-by-step explanation:

As I increases by 18, y decreases by 12. From the last value in the table, I needs to increase by 2·18 for it to become zero. Hence the y-intercept will be 2·12 less than the last value in the table:

1 - 2·12 = -23 . . . the y-intercept

What is the surface area of this triangular pyramid?

lidiya [134]

48.25 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the surface area of a pyramid is:

$SA=B+\frac{1}{2}l(number of base sides)(b)$

B represents the area of the base, which in this case is a triangle. We will figure out the area of the base first, using the formula for the area of a triangle.

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

$A=.5*5*4.3$

A = 10.75

Now we can plug in 10.75 for B.

$SA=10.75+.5*5*3*5$

The cursive L will be the lateral height, which is 5. Since there are 3 sides on the base we can put that in for the number of base sides, and the base is 5.

$SA=$
