Answer:

The answer to your question is Amy is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Equation              2x² + 5x - 42 = 0

-Factor

 2 x 42 = 84

- Find the prime factors of 84

                                       84     2

                                       42     2

                                        21     3

                                          7     7

                                           1

84 = 2² 3 7

-Find two numbers that added gives 5

 These numbers are 12 and -7

- Express the equation using these numbers

                          2x² + 12x - 7x - 42

-Factor by common factor

                          2x(x + 6) -7(x + 6)

-Factor by grouping

                              (x + 6)(2x - 7)

-Find the roots

                        x₁ + 6 = 0            2x₂ - 7 = 0

                        x₁ = -6                 2x₂ = 7

                                                     x₂ = 7/2

A school’s yearbook committee had many meetings last month the line plot summarizes how long each meeting lasted
kipiarov [429]

On the graph, it shows that the shortest meeting has lasted for 1/4 of an hour. An hour has 60 mins, you know it the shortest will be 15 minutes.

If its for any other number that you do not know, you can list as a proportion:

1/4 = x/60 (1 and x are on the top of the fractions)

Cross multiply: 1 * 60 = 60

Then divide by the number on the opposite corner of x: 60/4

x = 15
