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

I need help with 25.
noname [10]

Sum of linear pair of angles = 180°

so

<EFG + <GFH = 180°

2n + 21 + 4n + 15 = 180°

6n + 36 = 180°

6n = 144

n = 24

<EFG = 2(24) + 21 = 69°

<GFH = 4n + 15 = 4(24) + 15 = 111°

What is the measurement of angle X
jasenka [17]
I would say 60 degrees because the shape that has x is just a bigger version of the original so it would have the same angels so x is 60 degrees
