Answer: Answers are in the steps read carefully!
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 3x^2 - 7x + 2 To factor this polynomial, you have to find two numbers that their product is 6 and their sum is -7. The numbers -1 and -6 works out because -6 times -1 is 6 and -6 plus -1 is -7.
Now rewrite the polynomial as
3x^2 - 1x - 6x + 2 Now group it
(3x^2 - 1x) (-6x+2) Factor it by groups
x (3x -1) -2(3x -1) Now factor out 3x-1
(3x -1) (x-2) Done!
B) 2x^2 - x -3 Now the same way.You will have two numbers that their product is -6 and their sum is -1. You may be wondering how I get -6 .I get -6 by multiply the leading coefficient 2 by the constant -3. The numbers -3 and 2 works out. Because -3 times 2 is -6 and -3 plus 2 is -1.
Rewrite the polynomial as
2x^2 +2x - 3x -3 GRoup them and factor them
(2x^2 + 2x) (-3x-3)
2x(x+1) -3(x+1) Factor out x+1
(x+1) (2x -3) Done!
C) 3x^2 - 16x - 12 Find two numbers that their product is -36 and their sum is -12. The numbers -18 and 2 works out because -18 times 2 is -36 and -18 plus 2 is -16.
Rewrite the polynomial
3x^2 +2x -18x - 12 GRoup them
(3x^2 + 2x) (-18x - 12) Factor them
x (3x +2) -6(3x +2) Factor out 3x+2
(3x+2) (x -6) Done !
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(3x-4)=4(x+3)+6
Distribute
-6x +8 = 4x +12 +6
Combine like terms
-6x +8 = 4x+18
Add 6x to each side
-6x+6x +8 = 4x+6x +18
8 = 10x+18
Subtract 18 from each side
8-18 =10x+18-18
-10 = 10x
Divide each side by 10
-10/10 = 10x/10
-1 =x
It's just like multiplying and dividing a negative, such as -1 *2=-2 and -2 / 1= -1
if there is one negative then it will be negative, so in this case it will be -7 / 2=
answer= -3 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the initial ratio of 3 parts water to 5 parts fruit juice, you can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to determine the amount of water needed with just 1 part of fruit juice:
cross multiply: 5x = 3
divide: 5x/5 = 3/5 or x = 3/5
3/5 = 0.6 parts water
1600*0.85
The answer is 1360 tickets..
