Answer:

Two solutions were found :

x = -4

x = 1/2 = 0.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 (2x - 1) • (x + 4)  = 0

Step  2  :

Theory - Roots of a product :

2.1    A product of several terms equals zero.

When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.

We shall now solve each term = 0 separately

In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product

Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    2x-1 = 0

Add  1  to both sides of the equation :

                     2x = 1

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = 1/2 = 0.500

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.3      Solve  :    x+4 = 0

Subtract  4  from both sides of the equation :

                     x = -4

Two solutions were found :

x = -4

x = 1/2 = 0.500

(2x-1)(x+4)=0

If both brackets multiply to make 0, then one or more of them must equal 0. So you just set each bracket to equal 0 and then solve for x :)

2x-1=0

2x=1

x = 1/2

And then the second one:

x+4=0

x=-4

So the smaller x= -4

and the larger x = 1/2

Joan pays 456.25 monthly on her mortgage. If her annual insurance premium is 1,560 and her annual real estate tax is 1,890, what
defon
The combined payment is 743.75.

The annual amount of insurance is 1560.  Dividing this by 12 gives us the monthly amount paid:
1560/12 = 130.

The annual real estate taxes are 1890.  Dividing this by 12 gives us the monthly amount paid:
1890/12 = 157.50

We add these to the monthly mortgage payment to find the total amount:
456.25+130+157.50 = 743.75

So 4 eggs is 2/3of 6 eggs, so to get the amount of milk we multiply the 3 cups by 2/3 (or just divide by 3 and multiply by 2) and get 2 cups of milk. 
Hope this helps!
