We hates fractions
times everybody by 6x
6=x²-5x
minus 6 both sides
0=x²-5x-6
factor
what 2 numbers multiply toget -6 and add to get -5
-6 and 1
0=(x-6)(x+1)
set to zero
x-6=0
x=6
x+1=0
x=-1
x=6 or -1
Answer:
192
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the cereal box = 8 x 3 x 10 = 240
Therefore, if 100% of the box is filled with
cereal, the amount of cereal in the box
will be 240.
now, 80% is x
80/100 = x/240
cross multiplying,
100x = 80×240
100x = 19 200
dividing both sides by 100
x = 192
Fill the 200mL beaker all of the way. Using the water in that beaker, fill and pour out the 30mL twice and the 40mL three times. You should be left with 20mL in the 200mL beaker.
