The answer is $29.99. First, you add $10 to $49.98 which equals 59.98. Next, set up a proportion: x over 59.98 equals 50 over 100. 59.98 times 50 equals 2,999. Now divide 2,999 by 100 and you get your answer.

An alligator population in a naturer preserve in the Everglades increased by 60 alligators or five years what is the mean yearly
adelina 88 [10]
I'm not sure what you meant after alligators, if it was or or for, but I think it was for so I'm going with that. If 60 increase every 5 years, it would be 60 over 5 (in fractions). So I would do 60 divided by 5, which would be 12. So that means 12 increase every year. I'm not sure what mean meant either, if you're talking about the mathematical mean, but you can't solve the mean in this problem. The Answer: The yearly change in the alligator population would be 12.

-8 + 5x - 2 = 20 solve
vaieri [72.5K]

Combining like terms on the left-hand side gives us 5x-10=20. Adding 10 to both sides gives 5x=30, and dividing both sides by 5 gives our answer of \boxed{x=6}.

What are the factors of 2x^2 + 5x -12?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

(2x - 3) • (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Equation at  step  1  :

 (2x2 +  5x) -  12

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     Factoring  2x2+5x-12  

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .

The middle term is,  +5x  its coefficient is  5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -12  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -12 = -24  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -24  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   5 .

-24    +    1    =    -23  

     -12    +    2    =    -10  

     -8    +    3    =    -5  

     -6    +    4    =    -2  

     -4    +    6    =    2  

     -3    +    8    =    5

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -3  and  8  

                    2x2 - 3x + 8x - 12

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (2x-3)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   4 • (2x-3)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+4)  •  (2x-3)

            Which is the desired factorization
