SOLVE FOR X: (75 PTS)

Mathematics
2 answers:
GREYUIT [131]4 years ago

Answer:

The value of x is -4 and 5.

Step by step explanation:

First, you have to let the expressions equals to 0 and elaborate the equation :

{x}^{2}  - x - 20 = 0

{x}^{2}  + 4x - 5x - 20 = 0

Next you have to factorize by taking out the like-terms :

x(x + 4) - 5(x + 4) = 0

(x - 5)(x + 4) = 0

Lastly, you can solve it :

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x + 4 = 0

x =  - 4

Answer:

-4 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving quadratic equations it's important to remember that they have 2 solution. We need to work out the factors, sum and the products to successfully factorise the quadratic and solve it. So,

x² - x - 20 = 0

Sum = -1

Product = -20

So we need two number that sum to -1 and multiply together to make -20

Factors = -5 and 4

x² - 5x + 4x - 20

Factor x² - 5x and 4x -20 separately

x² - 5x = x ( x - 5 )

4x - 20 = 4 ( x - 5 )

So

x ( x - 5 ) + 4 ( x - 5 )

We can see a common factor of  ( x - 5 ) and the other bracket would be   ( x + 4).

( x - 5 ) ( x + 4 )

But the question asks us for the solution so

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

x + 4 = 0

x = -4

The monthly cost (in dollars) of water use is a linear function of the amount of water used (in hundreds of cubic feet, HCF). Th
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

67.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of HCF be x.

Let the cost be y.

You are given 2 points of a line: (15, 32.84) and (43, 79.04).

Now we find the equation of the line that passes through those points.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 32.84 = [(79.04 - 32.84)/(43 - 15)](x - 15)

y - 32.84 = (46.2/28)(x - 15)

y - 32.84 = 1.65(x - 15)

y = 1.65x - 24.75 + 32.84

y = 1.65x + 8.09

Now we let x = 36 and solve for y.

y = 1.65(36) + 8.09

y = 67.49

The bedroom is 17 feet long by 18 feet wide, and the ceiling is 9 feet high.
Komok [63]

Answer: 615 ft²

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

There are 4 walls - <em>assume that the floor and ceiling are not being painted.</em>

2 walls are 17 ft by 9 ft ⇒ 2(17)(9) = 306 ft²

The other 2 walls are 18 ft by 9 ft ⇒ 2(18)(9) = 324 ft²

1 window is 3.75 ft by 4 ft ⇒ 1(3.75)(4) = 15 ft²

2 walls + other 2 walls - 1 window ⇒ 306 + 324 - 15 = 615 ft²
