the factors of the term $a^2+4a-5$ are $(a-1)(a+5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find factors of the term: $a^2+4a-5$

For finding factors:

We need to break the middle term such that their product is equal to product of first and last term and their sum is equal to middle term

Breaking the middle term and finding factors:

$a^2+4a-5$

$=a^2+5a-a-5$

$=a(a+5)-1(a+5)$

$=(a-1)(a+5)$

So, the factors of the term $a^2+4a-5$ are $(a-1)(a+5)$

The Cowboys High School Band Boosters are selling candy bars and chips at the basketball tournament to raise money for their ban

masya89 [10]

Answer:

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of candy bars ready to sell

y be the number of chips ready to sell

According to given statement;

x+y=575 Eqn 1

x+0.5y= 500 Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(x+y)-(x+0.5y)=575-500

x+y-x-0.5y=75

0.5y = 75

Dividing both sides by 0.5

$\frac{0.5y}{0.5}=\frac{75}{0.5}\\y=150$

Putting y=150 in Eqn 1

x+150 = 575

x = 575-150

x = 425

Hence,

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Answer:

12 bouquets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be x number of roses and x number of tulips initially at the store. Each bouquet was made with 3 roses and 4 tulips. Assume that y bouquets were made in total.

If each bouquet was made with 3 roses and 4 tulips, then y bouquets will be made with 3y roses and 4y tulips.

After the bouquets were all made, there were 30 roses and 18 tulips left in the store. This means, if we subtract number of roses that were used in bouquets from total number of roses, the result must be 30. Likewise, for tulips the result would be 18. This can be represented as:

x - 3y = 30 Equation 1

x - 4y = 18 Equation 2

Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1, we get:

x - 3y - (x - 4y) = 30 - 18

x - 3y - x + 4y = 12

y = 12

Since y represents the number of bouquets made, we can conclude that 12 bouquets were made in the store.
