Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, identify a, b, and c of the quadratic.
a = 1, b = 20, c = |-36|
Find a*c. That's 36. Now find the factors of 36 and the 2 factors that can combine to give you b, which is 20, are the ones we want.
36: 1, 36
2, 18
3, 12
4, 9
6, 6
The ones that combine to give you 20 are 2, 18. Both positive. Therefore,
is how you begin to factor. Factoring by grouping is the way to go.
Factor out what you can from each set of parenthesis:
x(x + 18) + 2(x + 18)
What's common now is what's inside the parenthesis, so that gets factored out:
(x + 18)(x + 2)
That's factored completely!
Answer:
20 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
If Lena has 70 eggs and gives 50 to her friend we will have to subtract.
70 - 50 = 20
Lena has 20 eggs left.
Have a wonderful day! :)
What you need to know before I explain is how to add percents onto numbers. What I'm saying is what and how to do 6.4% x 1500
1. You can't do a percent and number together, that's impossible
What you can do is convert the percent (6.4%) into a decimal
2. 6.4% is equivalent to 6.4/100, which is equivalent to 0.064
3. Now, you multiply 0.064 x 1500
You will notice, hopefully, that you have a number smaller than 1500, but do not panic, you are on the right track!
4. Using the number you got, add that to 1500, and there's your total!
But, if you want only the tax, keep that small number you started off with!
