3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A product of two (or more) factor can be zero if and only if at least one of the factors is zero.

In other words, you cannot multiply two non-zero real numbers, and have zero as a result.

So, if we want the product of these two factors to be zero, at least one of them has to be zero.

The first factor is zero if

x-2=0 x=2

The second factor is zero if

x + 5 = 0 x= -5

What equation can be used?

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$f(x)=89x+1800$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1800 is spent on a washing machine. This number never changes, so we just need to add that to our annual total

$89 is spent every year. This means that this number needs to be with our variable, x, as it is dependent on the number of years that occur. When we put these two things together, we get the following equation:

$f(x)=89x+1800$

There are 13 protons because the atomic number (the number in the top left corner) represents the number of protons. Then, to find the number of neutrons, you take the number of protons and subtract it from the atomic mass (the number on the bottom) when it is rounded. The number of electrons is the same as the protons when the atom is neutral
