X^2 - x - 20
(x + 4)(x - 5) <==

x^2 - x - 20.....the last sign, which is negative, tells me that one set is positive and one set is negative. The first sign, which is also negative, tells me that the larger number will be negative. Now u have to find 2 numbers, that when added equal -1 and when multiplied, equal -20....those numbers are -5 and 4. so ur answer is : (x + 4)(x - 5)

Answer:

x = -4, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 12 + 2y = 12

=> 3y = 24

=> y = 8

3 l = _____ dl A. 0.3 B. 0.03 C. 300 D. 30

Andru [333]

Answer: The correct option is D, i.e.,30.

Explanation:

It the given equation we have two units l and dl.

Where l represents the liter and dl represents the deciliter. These are the volume units.

We know that,

1 liter = 10 deciliter

It means,

1 l = 10 dl

Multiply both sides by 3,

1\times 3 l = 10\times 3 dl

3 l = 30 dl

Therefore, the correct option is D and 3 l = 30 dl.

Slope=-3 goes through (1,2) whats the equation

dedylja [7]

Hi student, let me help you out! :)

..............................................................................................................................................

We are asked to find the equation of the line, using the given information:

$\star~\mathrm{-3}$ , which is the slope

$\star~\mathrm{(1,2)}$ which is a point that the line contains

$\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}$

The slope is the number before x, in the form $\mathtt{y=mx+b}$ .

Since "m" is the slope, and we're given what the slope is, we can substitute -3 for m:

$\dag~\mathtt{y=-3x+b}$

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Now, we need to find the y intercept, "b", of the line.

Here's how it's done:

Remember the point that the line contains, (1,2)?

Well, its y-coordinate is 2; so what we do is substitute 2 for y:

$\dag~\mathtt{2=-3x+b}$
