Factor the equation:
(x-6)(x+1)

Check:
-6+1=-5
-6*1=-6

Use the zero product property
x-6=0
x=6

x+1=0
x=-1

Final answer: x=-1, x=6

What fraction makes this division<br> sentence true? <br> 2/3 divided by ? = 4

NeX [460]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite of dividing by a fraction is multiplying by the inverse of the fraction. So, to find out what fraction to divide by you need to find what number you need to multiply 2/3 by to get 4.

2/3 x 6 = 4

So if you want to divide instead of multiply, just find the inverse of the number you are multiplying by.

The inverse of 6 is 1/6. Therefore, 2/3 divided by 1/6 equals 4.

(2/3)/(1/6) = 4

Help plz my teacher won't help

lesantik [10]

Answer:

y = -3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The hypotenuse is on the same line as BC but twice as long. So extend that line up and it will cross the y axis at (0,9). 9 will be your y intercept.

To find the slope start at C and count up 9 and to the left 3 to get to B.

So the slope is rise/run or 9/(-3) = -3.

Final equation would be y = -3x + 9

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is five times

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$x=30\\y=68\\z=82$

Step-by-step explanation:

x = measure of the first angle

y = measure of the second angle

z = measure of the third angle

The sum of the measures of the second and third (y+z) is five times the measure of the first angle (=5x)

$y+z=5x$

The third angle is 14 more than the second

$z=y+14$

And remember that the sum of these three angles must be equal to 180.

$x+y+z=180$

Let's take these equations

$y+z=5x\\z=y+14\\x+y+z=180$

If you take a look at the first equation, we have y+z = 5x and we have y+z in the third equation as well, we can replace that....

$x+y+z=180\\x+(y+z)=180\\x+(5x)=180$

Distribute the + sign

$x+5x=180$

Combine like terms;

$6x=180$

Divide by 6.

$x=\frac{180}{6}\\ x=30$

We have now defined that the measure of the first angle is 30º.

Let's take another equation... for example $z=y+14$

I'm going to take this one because if I replace x and z in the third equation, all I'll have left will be y.

$x+y+z=180\\30+y+(y+14)=180$

Distribute the + sign and Combine like terms;

$30+y+y+14=180\\44+2y=180\\$

Subtract 44 to isolate 2y.

$2y=180-44\\2y=136$

Now divide by 2.

$y=\frac{136}{2}\\ y=68$

We already have the value of x and y. Once again, replacing this in the third equation will leave us with z to solve for.

$x+y+z=180\\30+68+z=180\\98+z=180\\z=180-98\\z=82$
