Answer:

x = - 2, x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 10 x = 24 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

x² - 10x - 24 = 0 ← in standard form

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

The factors are - 12 and + 2, since

- 12 × 2 = - 24 and - 12 + 2 = - 10, thus

(x - 12)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

What is the volume of the prism?

mezya [45]

Answer:

40 $\frac{5}{8}$ $cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a rectangular prism, so the formula would be Volume = length x width x height.

length = 6 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

width = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

height = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

If you plug everything you have in the problem into the volume equation, you would get : Volume = 6 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm x 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm x 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm.

Without a calculator, I would first turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

6 $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{13}{2}$

2 $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

Volume = $\frac{13}{2}$ x $\frac{5}{2}$ x $\frac{5}{2}$

When you multiply everything together you should get $\frac{325}{8}$ .

As a mixed number, that would be 40 $\frac{5}{8}$ $cm^{3}$ .

Chin-li is building a brick wall along the front of his property. The wall will have 15 rows of bricks, with 32 bricks in each r

Finger [1]

Answer:

<h3>The solution is 480 bricks.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that number of rows of bricks in a wall = 15 rows.

Number of bricks in a row = 32 bricks.

In order to find the total number of bricks, we need to multiply number of rows with number of bricks in a row.

Total number of bricks in 15 rows = 15 × 32 = 480 bricks.

Therefore, will Chin-li will need 480 bricks.

<h3>The solution is 480 bricks.</h3>
