First you divide everything by 4 which will become b^2+2b-3=0
Then you can factor this which is
(b-1)(b+3)=0
B=1
B=-3 ... I think that's how you do it
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - (-1) = 5 + 1 = 6
The price of the duck because the 5 in the price of the horse is in the ones place. So you will have to divide by 10 to get to the 5 in the duck's price.
Write it out as a set of equation:
Let x be number of 8 cent stamps, y be 10 cent stamps, and z be 2 cent stamps.
x=y
z=x+y
8x+10y+2z=440
Lets first solve for x:
from x=y and z=2x(from first equation) the last equation is
8x+10x+4x=440
22x=440
x=20
know that x=20, you also know that y=20 as well, since z=x+y, z=40.
So 20 8-cent stamps, 20 10-cent stamps, and 40 2-cent stamps.
