Find the solutions to the equation.

1 answer:

3 0

You can write the equation using conventional symbols as
3x^2 - 2x - 5 = 0

You can recognize that the middle coefficient is equal to the sum of the other two, so those two coefficients can be used to factor the equation.
(1/3)(3x +3)(3x -5) = 0 . . . . . put the coefficients in the form (1/a)(ax + ...)(ax + ...) (x+1)(3x-5) = 0 . . . . . simplify

The solutions are the values of x that make one or the other of the factors equal to zero.
x = -1
x = 5/3

Someone please help Evaluate the formula V= Bh/3 for B= 15in ^2 And H=28in

White raven [17]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{V=140\ in^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$V=\dfrac{Bh}{3}\to\text{it's a formula of a volume of a pyramid or a cone}\\\\B-base\ area\\h-height\\\\\text{We have}\ B=15\ in^2\ \text{and}\ h=28\ in.\\\\\text{Put the given values to the formula of a volume:}\\\\V=\dfrac{(15)(28)}{3}=(5)(28)=140\ in^3$

Think of a number, divide it by 5 and then add 27 to the result. The resulting number is half of the original number. What was t

Salsk061 [2.6K]

This Is One Answer, There Are More Then One Answer.

100 / 5 = 20 + 27 = 47 / 2 = 23.5

100 = my number
5 = divide by

100 / 5 = 20
27 = add
20 = results of last answer
Then 20 + 27 = 47
47 = results of last answer
2 = half of
Then 47 / 2 = 23.5
